2. Determine the amount debited to Land, Land Improvements, and Building.

Land	Land Improvements	Building
$fill in the blank 39	$fill in the blank 40	$fill in the blank 41

3. Since land used as a plant site

does/does not

lose its ability to provide services, it

is/is not

depreciated. Land improvements

do/do not

lose their ability to provide services as time passes and are, therefore,

depreciated/not depreciated

.

4. What would be the effect on the current years income statement and balance sheet if the cost of filling and grading land of $20,800 [payment (i)] was incorrectly classified as Land Improvements rather than Land? Assume that Land Improvements are depreciated over a 20-year life using the double-declining-balance method.

Depreciation expense would be overstated & Land improvements would be overstated./Depreciation expense would be overstated & Land would be overstated./Depreciation expense would be understated & Land improvements would be overstated./Land would be overstated & Net income would be understated.
