Scenario:

Barton Enterprises purchased equipment on January 1, 2020, at a cost of 350,000. Barton uses the straight-line depreciation method, a 5-year estimated useful life, and no residual value. At the end of 2020, independent appraisers determined that the assets have a fair value of 320,000.

Instructions (Ignoring GST):

The general ledger includes the following accounts: Cash; Equipment; Accumulated Depreciation; Depreciation Expense; OCI Gain/Loss on Revaluation; Gain/Loss on Revaluation; Gain/Loss on Disposal; Retained Earnings; Revaluation Reserve; and Income Summary.

a. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation using the straight-line method.

b. Prepare the journal entry to record the revaluation of the equipment.

c. Prepare the journal entry to record 2021 depreciation, assuming no additional revaluation

e. Suppose that at the end of 2021, after the depreciation is recorded per c., the equipment is re-valued to 180,000. Prepare the journal entry to record the revaluation. Then prepare the closing entries required at the end of 2021.

f. Prepare the depreciation entries for 2020 and 2021, assuming the Cost Model was followed in both years.

g. Assume that the equipment is sold on 1 July 2022 for 170,000. 1) Calculate depreciation for 2022 under both the cost and fair value models. (Hint: Depreciate only up to the date of disposal.) 2) Prepare the journal entry for the disposal under the cost model. 3) Prepare the journal entry for the disposal under the fair value model. Do not revalue the equipment on 1 July 2022 (prior to the disposal). h. In total (for 2020, 2021, and 2022 taken together), which model resulted in the greatest decrease to total comprehensive income?
