The Ballard Company purchased equipment for $90,000 on January 1, 2013 that is expected to have a useful life of 4 years at which time it will have a salvage value of $10,000. If the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation, what would the account balance of Accumulated Depreciation be at the end of 2015?
Answer: |
Depreciation expense per Year -
2013 = ( Cost (-) Salvage Value ) / Useful life = ( $ 90,000 (-) $ 10,000 ) / 4 Years = $ 20,000 |
Account balance of Accumulated Depreciation be at the end of 2013 = $ 20,000 |
Account balance of Accumulated
Depreciation be at the end of 2014 = $ 20,000 + $ 20,000 = $ 40,000 |
Account balance of Accumulated
Depreciation be at the end of 2015 = $ 20,000 + $ 20,000 + $ 20,000 = $ 60,000 |
