If Hail was using double declining balance depreciation, what gain or loss do they show on the sale?

Expert Solution

Part 1

Depreciation according to straight line method

Annual depreciation = (cost - salvage value) / estimated life = (120000-2400)/12 = 9800

Depreciation rate according to double declining balance

Depreciation rate = 1/ estimated life *2 = 1/12 *2 = 16.67%

2016 depreciation = 120000*16.67% = 20004

2017 depreciation = (120000-20004)*16.67% = 16669

Depreciation rate according to units of production

Depreciation rate = (cost - salvage value) / total estimated miles = (120000-2400)/470400 = 0.25 per mile

2016 depreciation = depreciation rate per mile * miles drove = 0.25*80000 = 20000

2017 Depreciation = 0.25*127000 = 31750

	2016	2017	2016	2017
	depreciation	depreciation	book value	book value
Straight line depreciation	9800	9800	110200 (120000-9800)	100400 (110200-9800)
Double declining depreciation	20004	16669	99996 (120000-20004)	83327 (99996-16669)
Unit of activity depreciation	20000	31750	100000 (120000-20000)	68250 (100000-31750)

Part 2

Selling price at the end of 2 years = 62000

Book value at the end of 2 years (according to double declining depreciation) = 83327

Book value is higher than selling price so there is loss.

Loss = book value - selling price =83327-62000 =21327
