Digging foundation for the road 3,000

Laying and paving driveway 25,000

List the items and amounts that should be included in the Land account.

Item 2: Equipment with a cost of $480,000 has an estimated salvage value of $30,000 and an estimated life of 4 years. Compute the annual depreciation and then show what this asset looks like on the balance sheet at the end of the second year.

Item 3: Equipment that cost $72,000 and on which $60,000 of accumulated depreciation has been recorded was disposed of for $18,000 cash. Make the entry to record this transaction. Hint: Compute BV and then gain (loss).

Item 4: Equipment costing $60,000 with a salvage value of $8,000 and an estimated life of 8 years has been depreciated using the straight-line method for 2 years. Assuming a revised estimated total life of 5 years and no change in the salvage value, compute the revised annual depreciation expense and make the entry.
