Based on the information available in the question, we can answer as follows:-
Requirement 1:-
Depreciation expense under Straight Line depreciation method = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value)/Estimated life of the asset
Depreciation expense = ($148,500 - $8,250)/ 5 years
Depreciation expense = $28,050
Requirement 2:-
Units of activity depreciation method = ($148,500 - $8,250)/165,000 units
Units of activity depreciation = $0.85 per unit
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $0.85 per unit * 16,000 units = $13,600
Depreciation expense for 2022 = $0.85 per unit * 24,000 units = $20,400
Book value as on December 31, 2022 = $148,500 - $13,600 - $20,400
Book value as on December 31, 2022 = $114,500
Requirement 3:-
Year | Depreciation Rate | Depreciable Amount | Depreciation expense (Depreciable amount * 40%) | Accumulated Depreciation | Book value |
2021 | 40.00% | 148,500 | 59,400 | 59,400 | 89,100 |
2022 | 40.00% | 89,100 | 35,640 | 95,040 | 53,460 |
2023 | 40.00% | 53,460 | 21,384 | 116,424 | 32,076 |
2024 | 40.00% | 32,076 | 12,830 | 129,254 | 19,246 |
2025 | 57.13% | 19,246 | 10,996 | 140,250 | 8,250 |
Depreciation rate = 100/5 years * 2 = 40%
Basd on the above calculation, the Accumulated Depreciation of the equipment as on December 31, 2023 is $116,424
