Question:
Here is a transcript of the Machinery and Equipment account for 2007:
Your examination reveals the following eight items:
1. The company uses a 10-year life for all machinery and equipment for depreciation purposes. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method. Six months depreciation is recorded in the year of acquisition or retirement. For 2007 the company recorded depreciation of $2,800 on machinery and equipment.
2. The Burnham grinder was purchased for cash from a firm in financial distress. The chief engineer and a used machinery dealer agreed that the machine, which was practically new, was worth $2,100 in the open market.
3. For production reasons, the new air compressor was installed in a small building that was erected in 2007 to house the machine. The building will also be used for general storage. The cost of the building, which has a 25-year life, was $2,000 and is included in the $4,500 voucher for the air compressor.
4. The power lawnmower was delivered to the home of the company president for personal use.
5. On June 1, the battery in a battery-powered lift truck was accidentally damaged beyond repair. The damaged battery was included at a price of $600 in the $4,200 cost of the lift truck purchased on July 1, 2004. The company decided to rent a replacement battery instead of buying a new battery. The $320 expenditure is the annual rental for the battery paid in advance, net of a $40 allowance for the scrap value of the damaged battery that was returned to the battery company.
6. The Rockwood saw sold on August 1 had been purchased on August 1, 1994, for $1,500. The saw was in use until it was sold.
7. On September 1, the company determined that a production casting machine was no longer needed and advertised it for sale for $1,800 after having determined from a used machinery dealer that this was its market value. The casting machine had been purchased for $5,000 on September 1, 2002.
8. On November 1 a baking oven was purchased for $10,000. A $2,800 down payment was made, and the balance will be paid in monthly installments over a three-year period. The December 1 payment includes interest charges of $36. Legal title to the oven will not pass to the company until the payments are completed.
