Godfrey Company constructed a new highly automated

chemical plant in #3383


Godfrey Company constructed a new, highly automated chemical plant in Year 1, which began
production on January 1, Year 2. The cost to construct the plant was $5,000,000: $1,500,000
for the building and $3,500,000 for machinery and equipment. The useful life of the plant (both
building and machinery) is estimated to be 20 years. Local environmental laws require the
machinery and equipment to be inspected by engineers after every five years of operation. The
inspectors could require Godfrey to overhaul equipment at that time to be able to continue to
operate the plant. Godfrey estimates that the costs of the inspection and any required overhaul
to take place in five years to be $200,000. Environmental laws also require Godfrey to dismantle
and remove the plant assets at the end of their useful life. The company estimates that the net
cost, after deducting any salvage value, for removal of the equipment will be $100,000, and the
net cost for dismantling and removal of the building, after deducting any salvage value, will be
$1,500,000. Godfrey has determined that the straight-line method of depreciation will best
reflect the pattern in which the plant's future economic benefits will be received by the company.
The company uses the cost model to account for its property, plant, and equipment. The
company uses a discount rate of 10 percent in determining present values.Required:Determine
the cost of the plant assets at January 1, Year 2. Determine the amount of depreciation
expense that should be recognized related to the plant assets in Year 2.View Solution:
