You note that Leasehold Improvements have not been depreciated for this year. DeeDee started to lease some new retail space in 2017 and added shelving and fixtures to this leased space. Based on your review of invoices, the previous accountant capitalized the cost of fixtures but did not capitalize the shipping and installation costs of $5,701. These costs were expensed and recorded as a miscellaneous administrative expense. DeeDee has decided to use double declining balance (DDB) depreciation for this item and to take a full year of depreciation in the year of acquisition. The leasehold improvements have a useful life of 15 years with a salvage value of $10,000.

a) How do I capitalize the shipping and installation costs of $5,701

b) How would I reverse it to get it out of Miscellaneous Administrative Expense?

c) What would be the depreciation? (Using the DDB)
