Analyzing depreciation on PP&E
The following note is taken from the 2004 Annual Report of ExxonMobil Corporation:
| Dec. 31, 2004 | Dec. 31, 2003 | |||
| Historical | Accumulated | Historical | Accumulated | |
| millions of dollars) | ||||
| Upstream | $148,024 | $62,013 | $138,701 | $58,727 |
| Downstream | 62,014 | 29,810 | 59,939 | 29,566 |
| Chemical | 21,777 | 10,049 | 20,623 | 10,115 |
| Dther | 10,607 | 6,767 | 10,052 | 6,557 |
| Total | $242,422 | $108,639 | $229,315 | $104,965 |
In the upstream segment, depreciation is on a unit-of-production basis, so depreciable life will vary by field. In the downstream segment, investments in refinery and. . . manufacturing facilities are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 25-year life and service station buildings and fixed improvements over a 20-year life. In the chemical segment, investments in process equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 20-year life. Accumulated depreciation and depletion totaled $133 783 million at the end of 2004 and $124 350 million at the end of 2003.
Required
Based on the above note, answer the following:
(a) By 2004, what percentage of the upstream segment costs have been depreciated? Assume no salvage value and assume that in 2005, no upstream acquisitions or divestitures take place. If the upstream PP&E are used to produce 10% of their capabilities, what would be the depreciation expense and net book value at the end of 2005?
(b) By 31 December 2003, assuming a 20% salvage (residual) value, on average, what is the age of the chemical PP&E?
(c) Assuming no divestiture or retirement of assets, what was the depreciation expense for all PP&E in 2004?
