Jan. 22 Performed an annual safety inspection on the equipment for $4,600.
Apr. 10 Installed a conveyor belt system in the factory for $95,000, which is expected to increase efficiency and allow the company to produce more products each year.
May 6 Painted the interior of the entire building at a cost of $30,500.
July 20 Repaired a machine for $10,000. An employee had used incorrect material in the machine, which resulted in a complete mechanical breakdown.
Aug. 7 Overhauled equipment that originally cost $100,000 for $35,000. This increased the equipment's expected useful life by three years.

Dec. 31 After recording annual depreciation, Sugden reviewed its property, plant, and equipment for possible impairment. Sugden determined the following:
1. The recoverable amount of equipment that originally cost $250,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $75,000 is $90,000.
2. Land that originally cost $575,000 had previously been written down to $500,000 as a result of an impairment in 2011. Circumstances have changed, and the land's recoverable amount is now $600,000.
