HeFlin Company incurs these expenditures in purchasing a truck: cash price $18,100; accident insurance (during use) $2,210; sales taxes $1,730; motor vehicle license $220; and painting and lettering $1,170.
What is the cost of the truck? $ 18,100 + 1,730 + 220 + 1,170 = 21,220
Apex Chemicals Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $26,600 on January 1, 2007. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $3,800 at the end of its 5-year useful life. Compute annual depreciation for the first and second years using the straight-line method. (Round your answers to 0 decimal places.)
Straight line depreciation method = (Total cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= (26,000 - 3,800)/5
Depreciation expense per year = 4,440
First year depreciation $ 4,440
second year depreciation $ 4,440
On January 1, 2007, the Ewing Company ledger shows Equipment $32,000 and Accumulated Depreciation $14,000. The depreciation resulted from using the straight line method with a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $2,000. On this date the company concludes that the equipment has a remaining useful life of only 2 years with the same salvage value. Compute the revised annual depreciation

Remaining balance of the Equipment = Total Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= 32,000 - 14,000
= 18,000
Straight line depreciation method = (Total cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= (18,000 - 2,000)2
Depreciation expense per year = 8,000
Prepare journal entries to record these transactions: (For multiple debit/credit entries, list in order of magnitude.)
(a) Blaska Company retires its delivery equipment, which cost $41,000. Accumulated depreciation is also $41,000 on this delivery equipment. No salvage value is received
Accumulated depreciation 41,000
Equipment 41,000

(b) Assume the same information as in part (a), except that accumulated depreciation for Blaska Company is $36,800 instead of $41,000.

Loss from Disposal 4,200
Equipment 41,000
