2/ Nanki Corporation purchased equipment on January 1, 2016, for $657,000. In 2016 and 2017, Nanki depreciated the asset on a straight-line basis with an estimated useful life of eight years and a $13,000 residual value. In 2018, due to changes in technology, Nanki revised the useful life to a total of 4 years with no residual value. What depreciation would Nanki record for the year 2018 on this equipment? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

21/ On March 31, 2018, M. Belotti purchased the right to remove gravel from an old rock quarry. The gravel is to be sold as roadbed for highway construction. The cost of the quarry rights was $174,300, with estimated salable rock of 21,000 tons. During 2018, Belotti loaded and sold 5,000 tons of rock and estimated that 16,000 tons remained at December 31, 2018. At January 1, 2019, Belotti estimated that 15,000 tons still remained. During 2019, Belotti loaded and sold 10,000 tons. Belotti uses the units-of-production method.
Belotti would record depletion in 2019 of: (Round cost per
ton to two decimal places.)
Multiple Choice
$88,500.
$90,700.
$101,620.
$91,780.
Answer 1 : $0.
Explanation : Under IFRS or US GAAP goodwill is never amortized. However it is valued every year to determine any impairment loss.
Answer 2. $248,000
Explanation :
Accumulated Depreciation for 2016 & 2017 : [ ($657,000 - $13,000) / 8 years ] * 2 years = $161,000
Book value of the equipment in 2018 = $657,000 - $161,000 = $496,000
Revised total useful life = 4 years
Remaining useful life = 4 - 2 (ie 2016 & 2017) = 2 years
Revised residual value = $0.
Depreciation for the year 2018 = [($496,000 - $0) / 2 years] = $248,000
Answer 3 . $28,080
Explanation :
SLM rate = 1 / Useful life = 1 / 5 years = 20 %
Dep under double-declining balance method = 2 * SLM rate * Book value at the beginning of the year
Dep for 2018 = 2 * 20 % * $78,000 = $31,200
Book value at the beginning of the year for 2019 = $78,000 - $31,200 = $46,800
Dep for 2019 = 2 * 20 % * $46,800 = $18,720
Book value at the end of the year for 2019 = $46,800 - $18,720 = $28,080.
Answer 4. $88,500
Explanation :
Depletion in 2018 = ($174,300 / 21,000 tons) * 5,000 tons = $41,500
Depletion in 2019 = [ ($174,300 - $41,500 ) / 15,000 tons) * 10,000 tons = $88,500
