A company is removing old metal pipes from its building and replacing them with plastic pipes, which will increase the usefulness of the building. The cost of installing the new plastic pipes is 90.

A. What is the appropriate journal entry when the company pays 90 to replace the pies, if it can be assumed that the book value of the old pipes is NOT ZERO?
B. What is the appropriate journal entry if it can be assumed that the book value of the old pipes is ZERO?
