Explanation / Answer

(1) Three examples of Property, Plant and Equipment:

(a) Office Building and Office Equipment

(b) Machinery and Motor Vehicle

(c) Furniture and Fixture

(2) Copyright is an example of an intangible asset with an identifiable useful life (limited life).

(3) The land is classified separately from other tangible long-term assets because land has an infinite life. It is not consumed or worn out with use.

(4) Option(C) is correct.

Explanation: Land is considered as the tangible asset because it has a physical existence.

(5) Option(B) is correct.

Explanation: Trademark is a long-term operational asset because such assets are used for extended period of times (two or more accounting periods).

(6) Option(A) is correct.

Explanation: property, plant and equipment are fixed assets that follow the process of depreciation expense recognition.

(7) Option(A) is correct.

Explanation: Appraisal value of the property = 374000+1100000+726000 = $2,200,000

Appraisal value of building = $1,100,000

Therefore, building to be recorded = (1100000*1900000)/2200000 = $950,000

(8) Option(D) is correct.

Explanation: Value of equipment = (1900000*726000)/2200000 = $627,000

Depreciation to be recorded = [265000*(627000-34000)]/1000000 = $157,145

(9) Option(C) is correct.

Explanation: Land = 1500000+15400+133200-11000 = $1,637,600

Building = 1760000+138000 = $1,898,000

(10) Option(B) is correct.

Explanation: Book value of the equipment = (40000*380000)/(20000+340000+40000) = $38,000

Depreciation = 38000*[(1/4)*2] = 38000*50% = $19,000
