Before the property could be used, Turner had to spend $26,000 to
renovate
the building and $14,000 to put the equipment in working
order.
Assume the equipment was assigned a $9,500 residual value, a

and was being depreciated using the
straight-line depreciation method.
Calculate the book value of the equipment at December 31,
2025.

Depreciation on equipment per year using straight line method = (Depreciable value - residual value)/useful life | |||||||||
Depreciable value of equipment = Market value of equipment + cost to put it in working order = $165300 + $14000 = $179300 | |||||||||
Depreciation on equipment per year using straight line method = ($179300 - $9500)/15 years = $11,320 | |||||||||
