An asset was purchased for $109,000 on January 1, Year 1 and originally estimated to have a useful life of 11 years with a residual value of $9,500. At the beginning of the third year, it was determined that the remaining useful life of the asset was only 4 years with a residual value of $1,800. Calculate the third-year depreciation expense using the revised amounts and straight-line method.
Depreciation expense for third year using revised amounts as per straight-line method = $22,277.28 as computed below:
Note 1: Calculation of Carrying Value of Asset at beginning of Year 3 | ||||||||
Original Purchase Price | 1,09,000 | |||||||
Initial Useful Life | 11 years | |||||||
Initial residual value | 9,500 | |||||||
Depreciation to be charged each year as per Straight-line method = (109,000-9,500)/11 = $9,045.45 | ||||||||
Therefore, carrying value of Asset at beginning of Year 3 = 109,000 - 9,045.45-9,045.45 = $90,909.10 | ||||||||
Note 2: Calculation of Third-Year Depreciation | ||||||||
Carrying value | 90,909.10 | |||||||
Remaining useful life | 4 years | |||||||
Revised residual value | 1,800 | |||||||
Depreciation = (90,909.10-1,800)/4 = $22,277.28 |
