a. 0
b. $20,000
Explanation:
a. Pea Company would have reported no or nil depreciation expense on the building for 20X8 as the building was bought on that day and will most likely be available for depreciation on the following day January 1, 20X9.
b. Split company would have reported a depreciation expense of $20,000 for 20X8 if it had continued to own the building. This is the amount to be charged yearly as depreciation expense by Split as shown below;
As at January 1, 20x1,
Cost of asset = $400,000
Expected life = 20 years
Yearly depreciation expense = Cost/expected life
Depreciation expense = 400,000/20
= 20,000
This is the cost to be charged to depreciation expense in the books of Split at the end of 20X8 and if the company had continued to own the assets as the asset were disposed at the end if the year.
