Eckland Manufacturing Co. purchased equipment on January 1,
2016, at a cost of $90,900. Straight-line depreciation for 2016 and
2017 was based on an estimated eight-year life and $2,100 estimated
residual value. In 2018, Eckland revised its estimate and now
believes the equipment will have a total service life of only six
years, while the residual value remains the same.
Required:
Compute depreciation for 2018 and 2019.
Depreciation for 2016 and 2017 = (cost -salvage )/original useful life
= (90900 - 2100 ) / 8
= 88800 / 8
= $ 11100 per year
so for 2 years ,accumulated dep = 11100 *2 = 22200
Book value at beginning of 2016 = 90900 -22200 = 68700
Revised remaining useful life = 6 - 2 expired = 4 years
Revised depreciation = (Book value -salvage )/remaining useful life
= (68700 - 2000)/ 4
= 66600 /4
= 16650 per year
Depreciation :
2018 - 16650
2019- 16650
