Question

On January 1, 2019, Oriole Company purchased the following two machines for use in its production process.

Machine A: The cash price of this machine was $49,500. Related expenditures included: sales tax $3,650, shipping costs $100, insurance during shipping $60, installation and testing costs $110, and $150 of oil and lubricants to be used with the machinery during its first year of operations. Oriole estimates that the useful life of the machine is 5 years with a $5,350 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. Assume that the straight-line method of depreciation is used.

Machine B: The recorded cost of this machine was $180,000. Oriole estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a $11,460 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period.

1. Prepare the following for Machine A.
a. The journal entry to record its purchase on January 1, 2019.
b. The journal entry to record annual depreciation at December 31, 2019.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1 Equipment $53,420

To Cash $53,420

(Being the equipment is purchased for cash is recorded)

The computation is given below:

= Cash price of machine + sales tax + shipping cost + insurance during shipping + installation and testing cost

= $49,500 + $3,650 + $100 + $60 + $110

= $53,420

2. Depreciation expense $9,614

To Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment $9,614

(Being the depreciation expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= ($53,420 - $5,350) ÷ ( 5 years)

= $9,614
