In early July 2011, Lifestyle Lighting Ltd. expanded operations and purchased additional equipment at a cost of $100,000. The company depreciates buildings by the straight-line method over 20 years with residual value of $50,000. Due to obsolescence, the equipment has a useful life of only 10 years and is being depreciated by the double-diminishing-balance method with zero residual value.

Required

1. Journalize Lifestyle Lighting Ltd.'s capital equipment purchase and depreciation transactions for 2011.

2. Report capital assets on the December 31, 2011, balance sheet.
