True or False. Depreciation is a process of allocating the cost of a plant asset over its useful life. | True |
True or False. Depreciation is based on the matching principle because it matches the cost of the asset with the revenue generated over the asset's useful life. | True |

On July 1, 2010, Horizon Com. purchased a new piece of equipment that cost $45,000. The estimated useful life is 10 yrs and estimated residual value is $5,000. What is the depreciation expense for 2010 if Horizon uses the straight-line method? | $2,000 ($45,000 - $5,000)/10 x 6/12 = $2,000) |
Assume Horizon purchased the equipment on Jan. 1, 2010. If Horizon uses the straight-line method for depreciation, what is the asset's book value at the end of 2011? | $37,000 [($45,000 - $5,000)/10 x 2 = $8,000; $45,000 = $8,000 = $37,000] |
Assume Horizon purchased the equipment on Jan. 1, 2010. If Horizon uses the double-declining-balance method, what is depreciation for 2011? | $7,200 [$45,000 x .2 = $9,000; ($45,000 - $9,000) x .2 = $7,200] |
Return to Horizon's original purchase date. Assume that Horizon uses the straight-line method of depreciation and sells the equip. for $36,500 on July 1, 2014. The result of the sale of the equip. is a gain(loss) of? | $7,500 [($45,000 - $5,000)/5 x 4 = $16,000; $45,000 - $16,000 = $29,000; $36,500 - $29,000 = gain of $7,500] |
A company bought a new machine for $24,000 on Jan. 1. The machine is expected to last 5 yrs and have a residual value of $4,000. If the company uses the double-declining-balance method, accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 will be: | $15,360 [$24,000 x 2/5 = $9,600; ($24,000 - $9,600) x 2/5 = $5,760; $9,600 + $5,760 = $15,360] |

A company purchased an oil well for $270,000. It estimates that the well contains 90,000 bbls, has an 8 year life, and no salvage value. If the company extracts and sells 10,000 bbls of oil in the 1st year, how much depletion expense should be recorded? | $30,000 [$270,000 x (3,000/90,000) = $30,000] |
