Answer 1

20.

Depreciation expense per year under straight line depreciation method = (Cost - salvage value) / Years

= ($30,000 - $3,000) / 8

= $3,375

Depreciation expense for 8 months (May to December) = $3,375 * (8/12)

= $2,250

21.

Double declining balance rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2

Straight line depreciation rate = 100/8

= 12.5%

Double declining balance method rate = 12.5% * 2

= 25%

Depreciation expense for 8 months = Cost * rate * (8/12)

= $30,000 * 25% * (8/12)

= $5,000

22.

Accumulated Depreciation = Cost - salvage value

= $30,000 - $3,000

= $27,000

Depreciation expense = Accumulated depreciation * (6,500 / 50,000)

= $27,000 * (6,500 / 50,000)

= $3,510

23.

The primary difference between ordinary and extraordinary repairs is that extraordinary repairs extend the useful life or significant improve the performance of the assets.

Where ordinary repairs refers to the expenses for maintaining the condition of assets on routine basis.
