Cutter Enterprises purchased equipment for $102,000 on January
1, 2018. The equipment is expected to have a five-year life and a
residual value of $6,600.
Using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method, depreciation for 2019
and book value at December 31, 2019, would be: (Do not
round depreciation rate per year)
Multiple Choice
$25,440 and $44,760 respectively.
$25,440 and $38,160 respectively.
$27,200 and $40,800 respectively.
$27,200 and $34,200 respectively.
Given, |
Cost of Equipment is $102,000. |
Residual Value is $6,600 |
Useful Life is 5 years |
Depreciable Value = Cost of Equipment - Residual Value |
Depreciable Value = $102,000 - $6,600 |
Depreciable Value = $95,400 |
Sum of years’ digits = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 |
Sum of years’ digits = 15 |
Depreciation for the year 2018 = $95400 * 5/15 |
Depreciation for the year 2018 = $31,800 |
Book Value at end of 2018 = Cost of the asset - Depreciation for 2018 |
Book Value at end of 2018 = $102,000 - 31,800 |
Book Value at end of 2018 = $70,200 |
Depreciation for the year 2019 = $95,400 * 4/15 |
Depreciation for the year 2019 = $25,440 |
Book Value at end of 2019 = Book value at end of 2018 - Depreciation for 2019 |
Book Value at end of 2019 = $70,200 - $25,440 |
Book Value at end of 2019 = $44,760 |
Hence, the correct option is $25,440 and $44,760 . |
