Q

A house has a total cost new of $212,340. It is 12 years old and has an estimated remaining economic life of 38 years. The cost to cure deferred maintenance items is $670. Short lived items Cost is $20,000 and depreciation on the short lived items has been identified totaling $4,850. What is the amount of long-lived depreciation attributable to the building?

A
  1. Exercise 2. 12 + 38 = 50 years total economic life. Determine Cost of Long-lived Items by subtracting deferred maintenance and short lived items Cost from total replacement cost: $212,340 - $670 - $20,000 = $191,670. Determine depreciation percentage by diving effective life by total economic life: 12 / (12 + 38 = 50) = 24%. Multiply the Cost of the Long-Lived Items by the depreciation percentage: $191,760 X 24% = $46,000.
