Question 11[32 points]
Biotech Company operates a manufacturing facility where specialized electronic components are assembled for use in consumer products. The facility was purchased in 2014 for a cost of $3,120,000, excluding the land component. At the time of purchase, it was believed that the building would have a useful life of 40 years with no residual value. The company follows the policy of recording a full year of depreciation in the year of an asset's acquisition and no depreciation in the year of an asset's disposal. During 2020, the following transactions with respect to the building occurred:
On February 4, the existing boiler system failed and required replacement. The replacement cost of the new unit was $89,600. Management considers this to be a major component of the building, but had not separately recorded the cost of the original boiler, as it was included in the building purchase price. It is estimated inflation has increased the cost of these types of units by 12% since 2014.
Regular repairs to exterior stucco and mechanical systems were incurred on May 15, at a total cost of $44,000.
The entire building was repainted at a cost of $13,000 on November 15. This did not extend the useful life of the building, but improved its overall appearance.
A small fire in the staff kitchen caused damage that cost $5,000 to repair, was repaired on November 18.
A major structural repair to the foundation was undertaken on November 22. This repair cost $83,000 and was expected to extend the useful life of the building by four years over the original estimate.
Prepare the entries necessary to reflect the above information in Biotech Company's journal. Assume that all transactions were settled in cash. Also remember to record the year end depreciation expenses. Enter an appropriate description when entering the transactions in the journal. Dates must be entered in the format dd/mmm (ie. January 15 would be 15/Jan). Please make sure your final answer(s) are accurate to 2 decimal places.
