The current portion of long-term debt is the amount of the long-term debt that is due within one year. The remaining debt is the amount of the long-term debt that is due after one year.

Current portion of long-term debt = $725,000 / 5 years = $145,000

Remaining debt = $725,000 - $145,000 = $580,000

3.) Straight-Line Depreciation for Plastic Surgery Associates

Straight-line depreciation is calculated by dividing the difference between the cost of the asset and its salvage value by the asset's useful life.

Straight-line depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful life

Straight-line depreciation = ($10,000 - $2,000) / 5 years = $1,600 per year

4.) Annual Depreciation Charge for HMO

The annual depreciation charge for the HMO is calculated by dividing the cost of the building and renovations by the building's useful life.

Annual depreciation charge = (Cost of building + Cost of renovations) / Useful life

Annual depreciation charge = ($300,000 + $100,000) / 27.5 years = $5,454.55 per year

Conclusion

Dr. Jay's total owner's equity is $675,000.

The current portion of the dental organization's long-term debt is $145,000. The remaining debt is $580,000.

Plastic Surgery Associates' straight-line depreciation for the surgical lights is $1,600 per year.

The HMO's annual depreciation charge for the building and renovations is $5,454.55 per year.
