Question:
Account for capital and revenue expenditures (expenses) and calculate depreciation expense. (LO 2, 4)
Yester Mfg. Co. has had a piece of equipment for 6 years. At the beginning of the seventh year, the equipment was not performing as well as expected. First, Yester relubricated the equipment, which cost \(\$ 150\). Then, the company replaced some worn-out parts, which cost \(\$ 520\). Finally, at the beginning of the seventh year, the company completed a major overhaul of the equipment that not only fixed the machine but also added new functionality and extended its useful life by 3 years (to a total of 10 years) with no salvage value. The overhaul cost \(\$ 10,000\). (Originally, the machine cost \(\$ 60,000\), had a salvage value of \(\$ 4,000\), and had an estimated useful life of 7 years.)
a. Which of these costs are capital expenditures? How would these amounts appear on the financial statements?
b. Which are revenue expenditures? How would these amounts appear on the financial statements?
