39. A company purchased a plant asset for $45,000. The asset has an estimated salvage value of $6,000, and an estimated useful life of 10 years. The annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method is $3,900 per year.

40. Revenue expenditures are additional costs of plant assets that materially increase the assets’ life or productive capabilities.

41. Ordinary repairs are expenditures that keep assets in normal, good operating condition.

42. Extraordinary repairs are expenditures extending the asset’s useful life beyond its original estimate, and are capital expenditures because they benefit future periods.

43. Capital expenditures are also called balance sheet expenditures.

44. Betterments are a type of capital expenditure.

45. Treating capital expenditures of a small dollar amount as revenue expenditures is likely to mislead users of financial statements. FALSE

46. Plant assets can be disposed of by discarding, selling, or exchanging them.

47. The first step in accounting for an asset disposal is to calculate the gain or loss on disposal.

55. Natural resources are reported on the balance sheet at cost plus accumulated depletion.

56. When the usefulness of plant assets used to extract natural resources is directly related to the depletion of a natural resource, their costs are depreciated using the units-of-production method of depreciation, as long as the assets will not be moved to and used at another site when extraction of the natural resources is complete.

57. An ore deposit costing $800,000 is expected to produce 1,600,000 tons of ore. A total of 70,000 tons are mined and sold in the current year. The depletion expense for the current year is $35,000.

60. Goodwill is the amount by which a company’s value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities.

61. The cost of an intangible is systematically allocated to expense over its estimated useful life through the process of depletion.
