The Thompson Corporation, a manufacturer of steel products, began operations on October 1, 2019. The accounting department of Thompson has started the fixed-asset and depreciation schedule presented below. You have been asked to assist in completing this schedule. In addition to ascertaining that the data already on the schedule are correct, you have obtained the following information from the company's records and personnel: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Depreciation is computed from the first of the month of acquisition to the first of the month of disposition.
Land A and Building A were acquired from a predecessor corporation. Thompson paid $852,500 for the land and building together. At the time of acquisition, the land had a fair value of $94,000 and the building had a fair value of $846,000.

Equipment As total cost of $111,000 includes installation charges of $590 and normal repairs and maintenance of $16,000. Residual value is estimated at $4,800. Equipment A was sold on February 1, 2021.
