Q

A building has a cost new of $400,000. Deferred maintenance items have been identified at a cost of $9,000. Short-­lived depreciation has been identified at $15,000; these short­-lived items have a total cost of $45,000. The building has an effective age of 20 years and a total economic life of 50 years. What is the amount of depreciation attributable to the long-­lived items?

A
  1. $400,000 - $9,000 - $45,000 = $346,000 (cost of long-lived items). 20 / 50 = 40% depreciation. $346,000 x 40% = $138,400.
