On January 1, 2020, Concord Corporation purchased a new machine
for $4130000. The new machine has an estimated useful life of nine
years and the salvage value was estimated to be $143000.
Depreciation was computed using the sum-of-the-years'-digits
method. What amount should be shown in Concord's balance sheet at
December 31, 2021, net of accumulated depreciation, for this
machine?
$2535200
$3987000
$3332600
$2623800
Answer:
Cost of Machine = $4130000
Salvage Value = $143000
Depreciable Value = Cost of Machine – Salvage Value
Depreciable Value = $4130000 - $143000
Depreciable Value = $3987000
Sum of years digit = n * (n + 1)/ 2
Sum of years digit = 9 * (9 + 1)/2
Sum of years digit = 45
Depreciation Expense for year ended December 31, 2020 = $3987000
* 9/45
Depreciation Expense for year ended December 31, 2020 = $797400
Depreciation Expense for year ended December 31, 2021 = $3987000
* 8/45
Depreciation Expense for year ended December 31, 2021 = $708800
Accumulated Depreciation, December 31, 2021 = $797400 +
$708800
Accumulated Depreciation, December 31, 2021 = $1506200
Book Value, December 31, 2021 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation,
December 31, 2021
Book Value, December 31, 2021 = $4130000 - $1506200
Book Value, December 31, 2021 = $2623800
Therefore, an amount of $2623800 would be recorded in Concord’s balance sheet at December 31, 2021.
