Solutions

Expert Solution

1. Straight Line method uses same rate of depreciation throughout the life of an asset until the carrying value comes equal to Zero or Residual value. In this question the rate is 1/5 = 20% and the same rate is used and thus the amount of depreciation is also same for all the years.

2. Units of production method take into consideration some factor as a base as in this question labor hour is the base and the cost less residual value is divided by the base(Total) and the respective labor hours of the year is the multiplied to get the depreciation amount. This method charges depreciation as per the amount of actual use.The depreciating can be fluctuating.

3. Double declining method uses double the rate of straight line method i.e. 20 * 2 = 40% and it is calculated on the book value of each year unlike SLM that is calculated always on cost less residual value. And therefore the depreciation goes on decreasing year on year. This method assumes that the asset is used more in initial year and thus more depreciation is to be charged.
