In 1993, Tamarisk Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,320,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $68,800 at the end of that time. Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $580,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,200. In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate. Required:
a. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.
b. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2004 through 2022.
c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated.
d. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022.

a. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.

depreciable value = $2,320,000 - $68,800 = $2,251,200

annual depreciation expense = $2,251,200 / 40 years = $56,280

b. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2004 through 2022.

annual depreciation expense = $56,280 + [($580,000 - $23,200) / 30 years] = $74,840

c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated.

no journal entry required, the carrying value is the same, only the annual depreciation expense will change

d. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022.

accumulated depreciation until 2022 = (10 years x $56,280) + (18 x $74,840) = $1,909,920

carrying value = ($2,320,000 + $580,000) - $1,909,920 = $2,900,000 - $1,909,920 = $990,080

depreciable value = $990,080 - $68,800 - $23,200 = $898,080

annual depreciation = $898,080 / 32 years = $28,065

answer; no individual buyer or seller has any significant impact on the market price;

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
