Instructions:
(a) Explain the application of the cost principle in determining the acquisition cost of plant assets.

Plant assets are long-lived assets acquired for use in the business and not for the resale to the customers. The matching principle of accounting requires that we include in the plant and equipment accounts those costs that will provide services over a period of years. During these years, the use of the plant assets contributes to the earning of revenues. The cost of a plant asset includes all expenditures reasonable and necessary in acquiring the asset and placing it in a position and condition for use in the operations of the business.

(b) List the numbers of the foregoing transactions, and opposite each indicate the account title to which each expenditure should be debited.

1. Land-Debit Credit-Cash
2. Equipment-Debit Credit-Cash
3. Equipment –Debit Credit-Cash
4. Land improvements-Debit Credit-Cash
5. Equipment-Debit Credit-Cash
6. Equipment-Debit Credit-Cash
7. Equipment-Debit Credit-Cash
8. Equipment-Debit Credit-Cash

Management stated that the useful lives for the acquired assets were the amounts used by Little Drummer before the acquisition. The engagement team discussed the useful lives of the acquired property, plant, and equipment with the plant manager of Little Drummer. The plant manager stated that 30 years and 15 years for the plant and the equipment, respectively, were the useful lives used before the acquisition. This discussion was documented in the audit working papers.
