The following information is found during your audit:

1. All equipment is depreciated on the straight-line basis (no salvage value taken into consideration) based on the following estimated lives: buildings, 25 years; all other items, 10 years. The corporations policy is to take one-half years depreciation on all asset acquisitions and disposals during the year.

2. On April 1, the corporation entered into a 10-year lease contract for a die-casting ma-chine with annual rentals of $50,000, payable in advance every April 1. The lease is cancelable by either party (60 days written notice is required), and there is no option to renew the lease or buy the equipment at the end of the lease. The estimated useful life of the machine is 10 years with no salvage value. The corporation recorded the die-casting machine in the machinery and equipment account at $404,000, the pres-ent value at the date of the lease, and $20,200, applicable to the machine, has been included in depreciation expense for the year.

3. The corporation completed the construction of a wing on the plant building on June 30. The useful life of the building was not extended by this addition. The lowest con-struction bid received was $175,000, the amount recorded in the buildings account. Company personnel were used to construct the addition at a cost of $160,000 (mate-rials, $75,000; labor, $55,000; and overhead, $30,000).

4. On August 18, $50,000 was paid for paving and fencing a portion of land owned by the corporation and used as a parking lot for employees. The expenditure was charged to the land account.

5. The amount shown in the machinery and equipment asset retirement column represents cash received on September 5, upon disposal of a machine acquired in July 2012 for $480,000. The bookkeeper recorded depreciation expense of $35,000 on this machine in 2016.

6. Crux City donated land and building appraised at $100,000 and $400,000, respec-tively, to the UTE Corporation for a plant. On September 1, the corporation began operating the plant. Because no costs were involved, the bookkeeper made no entry for the foregoing transaction.

a. In addition to inquiry of the client, explain how you would have found each of these six items during the audit.

b. Prepare the adjusting journal entries with supporting computations that you would suggest at December 31, 2016, to adjust the accounts for the preceding transactions.
