Units-of-Output Depreciation
Equipment acquired at a cost of $140,000 has an estimated residual value of $9,500, has an estimated useful life of 45,000 hours, and was operated 3,600 hours during the year. Determine the following. If required, round your answer for the depreciation rate to two decimal places.
(a) The depreciable cost $ (b) The straight-line rate % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $Explanation / Answer
a) Depreciable cost = 86300-3300 = 83000
Depreciation rate = 100/10 = 10%
Annual depreciation = 83000*10% = 8300
b) Depreciation cost = 140000-9500 = 130500
Depreciation rate = 130500/45000 = 2.9 per hour
Depreciation for the year = 2.9*3600 = 10440
