Explanation / Answer

1. Journal entry for recording the transportation & installement.

As per the accounting standards, all the costs incurred by the company for bringing the asset to its working condition its working condition for its intended use is required to be added in the cost of the asset and therefore will be capitalized. As such transportation cost will be added in the cost of asset on the basis of percentage of value of the asset.

Purchase price of both machines = $241,000

Catalogue Price = Machine X: $110,000 & Machine Y: $155,000

Total Catalogue Price = $265,000

Share of Machine X in percentage = $110,000 / $265,000 x 100 = 41.51% Approx.

Share of Machine Y in percentage = $155,000 / $265,000 x 100 = 58.49% Approx.

Price of Machine X in actual purchase price = $241,000 x 41.51% = 100,040 Approx.

Price of Machine Y in actual purchase price = $241,000 x 58.49% = $140,960Approx.

Transportation Cost on Machine X = $5,200 x 41.51% = $2,158 Approx.

Transportation Cost on Machine Y = $5,200 x 58.49% = $3042 Approx.

b. Calculation of Deprection:

Total Cost of Machine X = $100,040 + $2,158 = $102,198.

Type of Depreciation = Double declining method

Useful Life = 5 years

Under Double declining method, depreciation is charged at double the rates under straight line method. Any residual value given is ignored for under double declining method of depreciation.

Depreciation on Machine X till Dec 31 = $102,198 / 5 years x 2 x 9 months / 12 months = $30,660.

Total Cost of Machine Y = $140,960 + $3,042 + $6,500 = $150,502

Useful Life of Machine Y = 8 years

Residual Value = $15,200

Depreciable Amount = $150,502 - $15,200 = $135,302

Depreciation till Dec 31 on Machine Y = $135,302 / 8 years x 9 months / 12 months = $12,685 Approx.
