Instructions

(a) Journalize the transactions. (Hint: You may wish to set up T accounts, post beginning balances, and then post 2012 transactions.) Craig uses straight-line depreciation for buildings and equipment. The buildings are estimated to have a 40-year life and no salvage value; the equipment is estimated to have a 10-year useful life and no salvage value. Update depreciation on assets disposed of at the time of sale or retirement.

(b) Record adjusting entries for depreciation for 2012. (Note: The only assets that are fully depreciated are those that were retired on December 31.)

(c) Prepare the plant assets section of Craig’s balance sheet at December 31, 2012.
