Explanation / Answer

Depreciation under straight-line method = (cost of asset-Salvage value)/Useful life Earlier depreciation = (39150-3900)/5 = $7050 Book value as Jan 1, 2018 = $39150-7050-7050 = $25050 1) Revised depreciation = ($25050-930)/8(10-2) = $3015 Entry; Depreciation expense   $3015 Accumulated depreciation           $3015 (to record the depreciation for 2018) 2) 2)sum-of-the-years'-digits Total number of remaining years = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36 Depreciation - 1st year = 8/36*($25050-930) = $5360 Entry; Depreciation expense   $5360 Accumulated depreciation           $5360 (to record the depreciation for 2018)
