Exercise 11-15
On March 10, 2019, Windsor Company sells equipment that it purchased for $213,120 on August 20, 2012. It was originally estimated that the equipment would have a life of 12 years and a salvage value of $18,648 at the end of that time, and depreciation has been computed on that basis. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation.
Compute the depreciation charge on this equipment for 2012, for 2019, and the total charge for the period from 2013 to 2018, inclusive, under each of the six following assumptions with respect to partial periods. (Round depreciation per day to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.64 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)

Exercise 11-15 (Essay)
On March 10, 2019, Lost World Company sells equipment that it purchased for $192,000 on August 20, 2012. It was originally estimated that the equipment would have a life of 12 years and a salvage value of $16,800 at the end of that time, and depreciation has been computed on that basis. The company uses the straightline method of depreciation.
Following are the assumptions with respect to partial periods:
| (1) | Depreciation is computed for the exact period of time during which the asset is owned. (Use 365 days for the base and record depreciation through March 9, 2019.) | |
| (2) | Depreciation is computed for the full year on the January 1 balance in the asset account. | |
| (3) | Depreciation is computed for the full year on the December 31 balance in the asset account. | |
| (4) | Depreciation for one-half year is charged on plant assets acquired or disposed of during the year. | |
| (5) | Depreciation is computed on additions from the beginning of the month following acquisition and on disposals to the beginning of the month following disposal. | |
| (6) | Depreciation is computed for a full period on all assets in use for over one-half year, and no depreciation is charged on assets in use for less than one-half year. (Use 365 days for base.) |
Briefly evaluate the methods above, considering them from the point of view of basic accounting theory as well as simplicity of application.

Exercise 12-4
Presented below is selected information for Sheridan Company.
Answer the questions asked about each of the factual situations.
1. Sheridan purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,160,000 on January 1, 2015. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2025. During 2017, Sheridan determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. What amount should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2017?
| The amount to be reported | $ |
- Sheridan bought a franchise from Alexander Co. on January 1, 2016, for $330,000. The carrying amount of the franchise on Alexander’s books on January 1, 2016, was $480,000. The franchise agreement had an estimated useful life of 30 years. Because Sheridan must enter a competitive bidding at the end of 2018, it is unlikely that the franchise will be retained beyond 2025. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017?
| The amount to be amortized | $ |
- On January 1, 2017, Sheridan incurred organization costs of $265,000. What amount of organization expense should be reported in 2017?
| The amount to be reported | $ |
- Sheridan purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2017, for $146,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Sheridan can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017?
| The amount to be amortized | $ |
