items, 10 years. The companys policy is to take on half-years depreciation on all asset
additions and disposals during the year.
Your audit revealed the following information:

On April 1, the company entered into a 10-year leave contract for a die casting machine,
with annual rentals of $5,000 payable in advance very April 1. The lease is cancelable by
either party (60 days written notice is required), and there is no option to renew the lease or
buy the equipment at the end of the lease. The estimated service life of the machine is 10
years with no residual value. The company recorded the die casting machine in the
Machinery and Equipment account at $40,400, the present value at the date of the lease, and
$2,020 applicable to the machine has been included in depreciation expense for the year.

The company completed the construction of a wing on the plant building on June 30. The
service life of the building was not extended by this addition. The lowest construction bid
received was $17,500, the amount recorded in the Buildings account. Company personnel

constructed the addition at a cost of $16,000 (materials, $7,500; labor, $5,500; and
overhead, $3,000)

On August 18, $5,000 was paid for paving and fencing a portion of land owned by the
company and used as a parking lot for employees. The expenditure was charged to the Land

Harbor City donated land and a building appraised at $100,000 and $400,000, respectively,
