Straight-line depreciation:
$50,625 - 30,625 = $5,000 per year 4 years Requirement 2 For plant and equipment used in the manufacture of a product, depreciation is a product cost and is included in the cost of inventory. Eventually, when the product is sold, depreciation will be included in cost of goods sold.
Brief Exercise 1114 Annual maintenance on machinery, $5,400 This is an example of normal repairs and maintenance. Future benefits are not increased; therefore the expenditure should be expensed in the period incurred. Remodeling of offices, $22,000 This is an example of an improvement. The cost of the remodeling should be capitalized and depreciated, either by (1) substitution, (2) direct capitalization of the cost, or (3) a reduction of accumulated depreciation. Rearrangement of the shipping and receiving area, $35,000 This is an example of a rearrangement. Because the rearrangement increased productivity, the cost should be capitalized and depreciated. Addition of a security system, $25,000 This is an example of an addition. The cost of the security system should be capitalized and depreciated.

The disclosure note indicates that IBM uses the straight-line depreciation method. $35,545 ÷ $3,959 (2004 depreciation) = 8.98 years. The approximate average service life of IBM's depreciable assets is 9 years.
