Jeanmich Ltd. (“JL”), a public company, purchased a warehouse on January 8, 2022. The company paid $5.6 million. The land was valued at $1 million and the warehouse building was valued at $4.6 million according to an appraisal conducted at the time of purchase. JL’s management estimated that the warehouse building would have a useful life of 30 years and a residual value of $100,000. JL accounts for its PP&E using the revaluation model and revalues it every four years. The company uses the straight-line depreciation method for its buildings. JL has a December 31 year end and on December 31, 2024, an appraisal indicated that the land had a fair value of $1.8 million, while the warehouse building had fair value of $4.36 million.
