1. A million-dollar oil drilling rig has a 6-year depreciable life and a $75,000 salvage value at the end of that time. Determine which one of the following methods provides the preferred depreciation schedule: DDB or SOYD. Show the depreciation schedule for the preferred method.

Expert Solution

SOYD is to be used as the DDB will never reach the salvage value and hence will result is capital gain at the end of the useful life.

	Year	Opening balance	Depreciation	Closing Balance
	1	1000000	264285.7	735714.3
	2	735714.3	220238.1	515476.2
	3	515476.2	176190.5	339285.7
	4	339285.7	132142.9	207142.9
	5	207142.9	88095.24	119047.6
	6	119047.6	44047.62	75000


	Year 1 depreciation =
	Depreciable amount		1000000 - 75000 =		925000
	Sum of years=		1+2+3+4+5+6 =		21
					44047.62

	Depreciation -
	Year	Year factor	Depreciation per factor	Depreciation for the year(Year factor x depreciation per factor)
	1	6	44047.62	264285.7
	2	5	44047.62	220238.1
	3	4	44047.62	176190.5
	4	3	44047.62	132142.9
	5	2	44047.62	88095.24
	6	1	44047.62	44047.62
				925000

An asset costs $10,000 and has a depreciable life of 10 years and a salvage value of $3,000. Determine the book (asset) value at the end of the 9th year using each of the following methods of depreciation (a) double-declining-balance method (b) textbook-declining-balance method (Matheson formula), and (c) sum-of-years’ digits method.

A depreciable asset costs $10,000 and has an estimated salvage value of $1600 at the end of its 6-year depreciable life. Compute the depreciation schedule for this asset by both SOYD depreciation and DDB depreciation.

We are evaluating a project that costs $1,920,000, has a 6-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 94,500 units per year. Price per unit is $38.43, variable cost per unit is $23.60, and fixed costs are $839,000 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent and we require a return of 12 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity,...

Consider the depreciation of a %5,000 asset with $0 salvage value. Assuming a 5 year depreciable life, develop the complete depreciation schedules for the asset showing year-by-year depreciation charges and book values, using: (a) Straight Line (b) Sum-of-years'-digits (SOYD) (c) Declining Balance (DB) with 20% depreciation rate, and (d) Modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) depreciation. Be sure to include complete depreciation schedules showing year-by-year depreciation amounts, and, book values, for each problem.

Lundy Company purchased a depreciable asset for $99,000 on January 1. The estimated salvage value is $18,000, and the estimated useful life is 9 years. The double-declining balance method will be used for depreciation. What is the depreciation expense for the second year on this asset? Please round the double-declining balance rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.35 or 35% in your intermediate calculations. $11,000 $17,820 $13,900 $16,988

Cost $80,000; Salvage value: $10,000; Useful life: 10 Calculate annual depreciation on this machinery using doublr-declining balance method. Be careful not to exceed the salvage value. If the salvage value is zero, switch to straightline in the year when straight-line yields higher depreciation. (use the remaining valye as the starting point when you change)
