Exercise 10-12
Montoni Company purchases equipment on January 1, year 1, at a cost of $469,000. The asset is
expected to have a service life of 12 years and a salvage value of $40,000.
INSTRUCTIONS
a. Compute the amount of depreciation for each of years 1 through 3 using the straight-line
depreciation method.
$469,000 - $40,000
= $35,750
12
b. Compute the amount of depreciation for each of years 1 through 3 using the sum-of-the-
years'-digits method.
12 * 13
= 78
2
c. Compute the amount of depreciation for each of years 1 through 3 using the double-declining
balance method.
100%
* 2 = 16.67%

Exercise 10-27
b. Compute the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009. Harrisburg
elected to depreciate the building on a straight-line basis and determined that the asset has a
useful lift of 30 years and a salvage value of $300,000.
Actual Interest
Initial Construction Loan $2,000,000 * 12% = $240,000
Short-term Loan $1,400,000 * 10% = $140,000
Long-term Loan $1,000,000 * 11% = $110,000
Total $490,000
In this case, the avoidable interest is lower than the actual interest, so we will use the avoidable
interest.
Cost $5,200,000
Interest Capitalized $406,720
Total Cost $5,606,720
$5,606,720 - $300,000
Depreciation Expense = = $176,891

Exercise 11-4
On the December 31, 2008 balance sheet, Alatorre will report the patent of $600,000 ($400,000
net of accumulated amortization).
2. Alatorre bought a franchise from Alexander Co. on January 1, 2007, for $400,000. The
carrying amount of the franchise on Alexander's books on January 1, 2007, was $500,000.
The franchise agreement had an estimated useful life of 30 years. Because Alatorre must
enter a competitive bidding at the end of 2016, it is unlikely that the franchise will be
retained beyond 2016. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31,
2008?
In this case Alatorre will amortize the franchise over its full estimated useful life because it is
uncertain if Alatorre will be able to keep the franchise at the end of 2015. So, because of this
uncertainty, the franchise should be amortized over 10 years. The amount of this amortization as
of December 31, 2008 will be $400,000 / 10 or $40,000.
The amount of organization expense which should be reported in 2008 is $275,000 because the
expense should be expensed as they are incurred.
4. Alatorre purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1,
2008, for $150,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite
period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee,
Alatorre can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should
be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2008?
Based on the information that the license can renewed, at nominal costs, it is considered to have
an indefinite life. Because of this there will be no amortization recorded at this time. However,
Alatorre will need to test the license for impairment in future periods.
INSTRUCTIONS
Answer the questions asked about each of the factual situations.
Exercise 11-18
Presented below is net asset information related to the Carlos Division of Santana, Inc.
Carlos Division
Net Assets
As of December 31, 2008
(in millions)
Cash $50
Receivables $200
Property, plant, and equipment (net) $2,600
Goodwill $200
Less: Notes Payable ($2,700)
Net Assets $360
INSTRUCTIONS
a. Prepare the journal entry (if any) to record the impairment at December 31, 2008.
Because the fair value of the unit is $15 million less than its carrying value of $350 million, we
know that an impairment has occurred. Now we have to determine what the amount of the
impairment will be. In order to figure out how much of the impairment to record we need to find
the value of goodwill and then compare the implied fair value with the carrying value of the
goodwill.
b. At December 31, 2009, it is estimated that the division's fair value increased to $345 million.
Prepare the journal entry (if any) to record this increase in fair value.
After a loss is recognized in goodwill impairment the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill is
the new accounting basis. Because of this, Under SFAS No. 142 reversal of any previously
recognized impairment losses is not permitted so there is no entry necessary for this transaction.
Exercise 14-6
The following information is available for Barkley Company at December 31, 2008, regarding
its investments.
Securities Cost Fair Value
3,000 shares of Myers Corporation Common Stock $40,000 $48,000
1,000 shares of Cole Incorporated Preferred Stock $25,000 $22,000
$65,000 $70,00
INSTRUCTIONS
a. Prepare the adjusting entry (if any) for 2008, assuming the securities are classified as trading
b. Prepare the adjusting entry (if any) for 2008, assuming the securities are classified as
available-for-sale
c. Discuss how the amounts reported in the financial statements are affected by the entries in (a)
and (b)
Barkley Company's Unrealized Holding Gain and Loss-Equity account will be reported as Other
Comprehensive Income and also as a Component of Stockholders' equity until realized. The
Unrealized Holding Gain and Loss-Income account of Barkley Company will be reported as
Other Revenues and Gains on the Income Statement. Finally the Securities Fair Value
Adjustment account should be added to the Cost of the Available-for-sale of Trading Securities
account in order to arrive at the fair value.
Exercise 14-13
Parent Co. invested $1,000,000 in Sub Co. for 25% of its outstanding stock. Sub Co. pays out
40% of net income in dividends each year.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use the information in the following T-account for the investment in Sub to answer the
following questions.
Investment in Sub Co.
$1,000,000
$110,000
$44,000
a. How much was Parent Co's share of Sub Co's net income for the year?
The Parent Co's shares of Sub Co's net income for the year are $110,000 (increase to the
investment account).
b. How much was Parent Co's share of Sub Co's dividends for the year?
Since the payout ratio is 40%, it would make sense that 40% of Sub Co's net income would be
Parent Co's which would make Parent Co's shares of the dividends to be 44,000.
c. What was Sub Co's total net income for the year?
Since Sub Co's shares are 25% their total net income would be multiplies by 25% for a total of
$110,000 for the year. ($440,000 / 25% = $110,000)
