Answer 1

Answer to Question 92:

Cost of Equipment = Purchase Price + Freight Charge + Installation Charge
Cost of Equipment = $82,400 + $3,200 + $12,000
Cost of Equipment = $97,600

Salvage Value = $16,000
Useful Life = 5 years

Annual Depreciation = (Cost of Equipment - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = ($97,600 - $16,000) / 5
Annual Depreciation = $16,320

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31, 2017 = Depreciation Expense for 2016 + Depreciation Expense for 2017
Accumulated Depreciation at December 31, 2017 = $16,320 + $16,320
Accumulated Depreciation at December 31, 2017 = $32,640

Answer to Question 111:

Cost of Asset = $64,600
Salvage Value = $10,000

Annual Depreciation = (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
$3,900 = ($64,600 - $10,000) / Useful Life
Useful Life = 14 years

Accumulated Depreciation = $27,300
Years lapsed * Annual Depreciation = $27,300
Years lapsed * $3,900 = $27,300
Years lapsed = 7 years

Remaining Useful life = 14 - 7
Remaining Useful life = 7 years
