Explanation / Answer

QUESTION (A) – TODD COMPANY

Depreciation Method

Depreciation Expenses for 2016

Depreciation Expenses for 2017

Book Value as of December 31, 2017

Sum - of - the - years Digit

$12,250

$10,500

$35,250

Double Declining Balance

$16,571

$11,837

$29,592

Sum - of - the - years Digit Method

Depreciation Sum of Years Digits Method = [ Cost – Salvage Value ] x Years Fraction

Book Value = Cost of the Asset – Accumulated Depreciation

Depreciation Expenses for 2016 = [ $58,000 – 9,000 ] x 7/28 = $12,250

Depreciation Expenses for 2017 = [ $58,000 – 9,000 ] x 6/28 = $10,500

Book Value as of December 31, 2017 = $58,000 – 12,250 – 10,500 = $35,250

Double Declining Balance Method

Double Declining Depreciation = 2 x Straight Line Depreciation Rate x Book Value Beginning

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 1 / Useful Life = 1 / 7= 0.142857

Depreciation Expenses for 2016 = 2 x 0.142857 x $58,000 = $16,571    

Depreciation Expenses for 2017 = 2 x 0.142857 x [ 58,000 – 16,571 ] = $11,837      

Book Value as of December 31, 2017 = $58,000 – 16,571 – 11,837 = $29,592

QUESTION (B) – EDISON Co

Depreciation Method

Depreciation Expenses for 2016

Depreciation Expenses for 2017

Book Value as of December 31, 2017

Sum - of - the - years Digit

$9,188

$10,500

$ 38,312

Double Declining Balance

$12,429

$13,020

$32,551

Sum - of - the - years Digit Method

Depreciation Sum of Years Digits Method = [ Cost – Salvage Value ] x Years Fraction

Book Value = Cost of the Asset – Accumulated Depreciation

Depreciation Expenses for 2016 = [ $58,000 – 9,000 ] x 7/28 x 9/12 = $9,188

Depreciation Expenses for 2017 = [ $58,000 – 9,000 ] x 6/28 = $10,500

Book Value as of December 31, 2017 = $58,000 – 9,188 – 10,500 = $ 38,312

Double Declining Balance Method

Double Declining Depreciation = 2 x Straight Line Depreciation Rate x Book Value Beginning

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 1 / Useful Life = 1 / 7= 0.142857

Depreciation Expenses for 2016 = [ 2 x 0.142857 x $58,000 ] x 9/12 = $12,429        

Depreciation Expenses for 2017 = 2 x 0.142857 x [58,000 – 12,429] = $13,020        

Book Value as of December 31, 2017 = $58,000 – 12,429 – 13,020 = $32,551

Note

The Fraction of 9 Months / 12 Months was taken since the Equipment was Acquired on April 1, 2016, Therefore, Only the proportionate Depreciation will be taken for the Year 2016
