The appraised value is $35 million.
• Building 1 has an estimated useful life of 35 years and no residual value.
• Building 2 was built by a local contractor this year. It also has an estimated useful life of 35 years and no residual value. The company occupied it on May 1 this year.
• The Equipment A was purchased January 1 six years ago, when the estimated useful life was eight years with no residual value. It was sold on May 1 for $500,000.
