Parish Corporation purchased a new machine for its assembly process on

January 2, 2007. The cost of this machine was $117,900. The company
estimated that the machine would have a salvage value of $12,900 at the
end of its service life. Its life is estimated at 5 years and its working hours
are estimated at 1,000 hours. Year-end is December 31.

The annual journal entry to record depreciation is:

Depreciation Expense
Accumulated Depreciation

A fully depreciated building still in use (assume no

salvage value) would appear on the balance sheet as
follows:
Building, at cost

Companies dispose of plant assets in three ways

Retirement, Sale, or Exchange (appendix).

Record depreciation up to the date of disposal.

Eliminate asset by (1) debiting Accumulated Depreciation, and (2) crediting
20
the asset account.
