Explanation / Answer

Solution:

There are two problems. First problem is already answered. So I am answering second problem.

Use the following information for questions 17 to 20:

Cost: $10,000

Salvage $1,000

Useful life: 5 years

Units over life: 36,000

17. What is the second year depreciation expense under declining-balance = 200%?

Solution:

Double Declining Depreciation Method

It is a method of depreciation used by the companies when they want to quickly depreciate an asset.

The asset will depreciate much faster under this method than straight-line because we double the percentage that would be depreciated each year under straight-line.

Salvage value is not subtracted from Cost of Asset when depreciation is calculated by using this method.

The formula for double declining balance is:

Annual depreciation = Book Value * 100% / life * 2

Calculate the percentage that should be used first.

Depreciation Rate = 100% / Useful Life x 2 = 100% / 5 x 2 = 40%

First Year Depreciation = Cost of Asset x Depreciation Rate = $10,000*40% = $4,000

Carrying Value at the end of Year 1 = Cost of Asset – 1st year depreciation 4,000 = $6,000

Year 2 Depreciation Expense = Carrying Value at the end of 1st Year $6,000 * Depreciation Rate 40% = $2,400

Hence, the the second year depreciation expense under declining-balance = $2,400

The correct option is D. $2,400

18. What is the fourth year depreciation expense under sum-of-years digits?

Sum of Years digits method

This method of depreciation is accelerated depreciation technique which is based on the assumption that assets are generally more productive when they are new and their productivity decreases as they become old.

SYD Depreciation = Depreciable Base x Remaining Useful Life / Sum of Years Digit

Depreciable Base = Cost of Asset – Salvage Value = $10,000 - $1,000 = $9,000

Sum of Years Digit = n(n+1)/2 = 5(5+1)/2 = 15

Year 1 Depreciation = $9,000 x Remaining useful life 5 / 15 Sum of Years Digit = $3,000

Year 2 Depreciation = $9,000 x 4 / 15 = $2,400

Year 3 Depreciation = $9,000 * 3 / 15

Year 4 Depreciation = $9,000 * 2 /15 = $1,200

Hence, the correct option is D. $1,200

19. Assume the asset produced 13,000 units. What is the depreciation expense under the units of production method?

Under the Units of Production method of depreciation, depreciation is charged according to the actual usage of the asset. Higher depreciation is charged when there is higher activity and less is charged when there is low level of operation. Zero depreciation is charged when the asset is idle for the whole period.

Estimated production Units during life of machine = 36,000 Units

Machine’s Depreciable Cost = Cost of Asset – Salvage Value = $10,000 – 1,000 = $9,000

Under the units of production method, the machine's depreciable cost of $9,000 is divided by estimated production during the life of machine 36,000 Units, resulting in depreciation of $0.25 per unit.

Depreciation Expense = Actual Units Produced x Depreciation Rate = 13,000 Units x 0.25 = $3,250

Hence, the correct option is C. $3,250

20. Assume the declining-balance = 200% method is used. What is the residual book value at the end of year 2?

Refer working for problem 17..

First Year Depreciation = Cost of Asset x Depreciation Rate = $10,000*40% = $4,000

Carrying Value at the end of Year 1 = Cost of Asset – 1st year depreciation 4,000 = $6,000

Year 2 Depreciation Expense = Carrying Value at the end of 1st Year $6,000 * Depreciation Rate 40% = $2,400

Carrying Value at the end of year 2 = $6,000 – Year 2 Depreciation $2,400 = $3,600

Hence, the correct option is B. $3,600
