On May 1, Chippewa Brewery, Ltd. purchased a bottling factory including land and equipment for $920,000. Chippewa paid legal fees of $20,000, renovation costs on the building of $38,000, and the $18,000 cost of overhauling the equipment. The appraisal value for the land was $300,000, for the building was $780,000, and for the equipment was $120,000.

Chippewa estimated that the building’s useful life was 20 years with a residual value of $16,000 and that the equipment would produce 2,000,000 bottles of beer, with a residual value of $2,000.

The equipment produced 350,000 bottles for the first year and 420,000 bottles for the second year.
