Manufacturing equipment has a capital cost of $50,000, salvage value of $5000, and an asset life of 5 years. Compute the depreciation expense for the first 3 years under (a) accelerated cost recovery and (b) straight line.
ANSWER | ||||||||
a) | Accelerated Cost Recovery Method | |||||||
Formula | ||||||||
Di | = | C x Ri | ||||||
where | ||||||||
Di | = | Depreciation in year i | ||||||
C | = | Original Cost if the asset | ||||||
Ri | = | Depreciation rate fro year i | ||||||
YEAR | ADJUSTED BASIS | RATE (%) | DEPRECIATION | CUMULATIVE | BOOK VALUE | METHOD | ||
1 | 50000 | 10 | 5000 | 5000 | 45000 | STRAIGHT LINE | ||
2 | 45000 | 20 | 10000 | 15000 | 35000 | STRAIGHT LINE | ||
3 | 35000 | 20 | 10000 | 25000 | 25000 | STRAIGHT LINE | ||
TOTAL DEPRECIATION | 25000 | |||||||
b) | Straight Line Method | |||||||
Depreciation | = | Original Cost - Salvage Value | ||||||
No of Years | ||||||||
= | 50000-5000 | |||||||
5 | ||||||||
= | 45000/5 | |||||||
= | 9000 | |||||||
YEAR | BOOK VALUE | DEPRECIATION | BALANCE BOOK VALUE | |||||
1 | 50000 | 9000 | 41000 | |||||
2 | 41000 | 9000 | 32000 | |||||
3 | 32000 | 9000 | 23000 | |||||
TOTAL DEPRECIATION | 27000 | |||||||
