Your firm is engaged to perform the audit of the financial statements of Cyprus Corporation for the year

ended December $31,2023.$ Cyprus began business in $2015.$ As a first year staff, you have been tasked

with performing the procedures in connection with the property section of the audit. You received a PBC

from the client containing an analysis of the Property, Plant, and Equipment and related accumulated

depreciation accounts, including additions and retirements $($see PBC schedule in the workbook you are

provided$).$ You have already completed the first task in the audit program by tracing the beginning

balances on the PBC to your prior year's audit working papers.

All plant assets are depreciated on the straight$-$line basis $($no residual value taken into consideration$)$

based on the following estimated service lives: building, $25$ years; and all other items, $10$ years. The

company policy states that depreciation begins in the month the asset is placed in service and no

depreciation is taken in month of disposal.

Your audit revealed the following information:

$1.$ On November $1,$ the company entered into a $10-$year lease contract for a die casting machine,

with annual rentals of $$7,000$ payable in advance on November $1$ of each year. The property was

placed in service on December $1.$ The Company treated the lease as an operating lease for

financial statement purposes; however, you determined the lease should be treated as a capital

lease. The estimated service life of the machine is $10$ years with no residual value. The

company$$s current cost of funds is $6\%.$

$2.$ The company completed the construction of a new building in January and placed the asset in

service on May $1,2023.$ The entire balance in the CIP account pertains to the building.

$3.$ On September $18,$ $$8,000$ was paid for paving and fencing a portion of land owned by the

company and used as a parking lot for employees $($i$.$e$.,$ land improvements$).$ The expenditure

was charged to the Land account.

$4.$ The amount shown in the machinery and equipment asset retirement column $($$$25,000)$

represents cash received on September $5$ upon disposal of a machine purchased March $1,2019$

for $$60,000.$ The chief accountant recorded depreciation expense of $$6,000$ on this machine in

$2023.$

$5.$ The $$17,750$ capitalized to the building account was for roof repairs after a recent hurricane. It

did not approve the asset or extend its useful life. The company recorded $$4,260$ of depreciation

on this addition in the current year.
