Depreciation methods: partial-year depreciation; sale of assets

On March 31, 2011, the Herzog Company
purchased a factory complete with machinery and equipment. The allocation of the total purchase price of
$1,000,000 to the various types of assets along with estimated useful lives and
residual values are as follows:

Assets	Cost	Estimated Residual Value	Estimated Useful Life in Years
Land	100,000	N/A	N/A
building	500,000	none	25
Machinery	240,000	10% of cost	8
Equipment	160,000	13,000	6
Total	1,000,000

On June 28, 2012, machinery included in
the March 31, 2011, purchase that cos $100,000 was sold for $80,000. Herzog
uses the straight-line depreciation method for buildings and machinery and the
sum-of-the-years’-digits method for equipment.
Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months an
asset is in service.

Required:

1. Compare
depreciation expense on the building, machinery, and equipment for 2011.

2. Prepare
journal entries to record (1) depreciation on the machinery sold on June 29, 2012,
and (2) the sale of machinery.

3. Compute
depreciation expense on the building, remaining machinery, and equipment for
2012.
