Each question is independent from the others. Answer using the information above.
1. What is the book value after 3 years of depreciation, using straight line?
2.What is the accumulated depreciation after 3 years, using double declining balance?
3. What is the depreciable value of the asset?
4. Assuming straight line depreciation, at the end of year 4, an improvement is made that costs 9,000 and adds 1 year of life to the equipment. Salvage value is not changed.Compute the year 5 depreciation expense.
Equipment Cost | $134,000 |
Installation Labor | $4,500 |
Freight | $10,000 |
Repairs of Damage during installation | $6,000 |
Insurance on Freight | $1,500 |
Price of an equipment | $ 156,000 |
1. What is the book value after 3 years of depreciation, using straight line?
Purchase Price of an equipment = $ 156,000
Salvage Value = $ 20,000
Useful Life = 8 years
Annual Depreciation unders Straight Line Method =( $156,000 - 20,000) /8
= $ 17,000
Book Value after 3 years is:
Purchase Price = $156,000
Less: Depreciation for three years (17,000 * 3) = 51,000
Book value after 3 years = $105,000
2.What is the accumulated depreciation after 3 years, using double declining balance?
Cost of equipment = $ 156,000
Useful life = 8 years
Salvage Value = $20,000
Depreciation Rate = (1/ Useful Life ) *100 = (1/8) *100 = 12.5%
Double Declining Balance = 2* Depreciation Rate = 25%
Year | Balance ( brgining) | Depreciation | Book Value (at the end) |
1 | $156,000 | 25% = 39,000 | $117,000 |
2 | $117,000 | 25% = 29,250 | 87,750 |
3 | $ 87,750 | 25% = 21937.5 | 65,812.5 |
Book Value under Double Declining Method after 3 years is = $ 65,812.5
3. What is the depreciable value of the asset?
Depreciable Value, in relation to tangible assets, is the value difference between cosrt of an asset and salvage Value. It is computed as follows:
Depreciable Value = Cosrt of Asset - Salvage Value
= $156,000 - 20,000
= $136,000
4. Assuming straight line depreciation, at the end of year 4, an improvement is made that costs 9,000 and adds 1 year of life to the equipment. Salvage value is not changed.Compute the year 5 depreciation expense.
At the end of 4 years book value ( as per straight line method) would be:
Cost of Asset = $ 156,000
Less: Depreciation of 4 years (17,000 * 4 ) = 68,000
Value after 4 years = 88,000
Add: Improvement Cost = 9,000
New Total Value = $ 97,000
Salvage Value = $ 20,000
New Useful Life = 5 years
Yearly Depreciation Expense would be = ( 97,000 - 20,000) / 5 = $15,400
5 Years Depreciation would be = $ 15,400 * 5 = $ 77,000
