Five identical vehicles which cost $500,000 (total) are acquired on April 1, 2018. Their estimated residual value is $20,000 and expected life is eight years. These assets are Class 10 with a maximum CCA rate of 30%. The company has a December 31 year end. Required Calculate the depreciation expense/CCA (to the nearest dollar) by each of the following methods:
1. Straight-line for 2018
2. Double declining-balance for 2019
3. Maximum Capital cost allowance for 2019
hi, please find below the answer let me know if you need any clarification-
answer 1) | Straight line annual depreciation = (Cost - salvage value)/useful life of asset | ||||||
=(500000-20000)/8 | 60000 | ||||||
Depreciation for 2018 is for 9 month = | |||||||
=60000*9/12 | 45000 | ||||||
answer 2) | Double declining rate = (1/8)*200% | 25% | |||||
Beginning value | Depreciation | Depreciation | year end value | ||||
2018 | 500000 | =500000*25%*9/12 | 93,750 | 406,250 | |||
2019 | 406,250 | =406250*25% | 101562.50 | 304,688 | |||
therefor 2019 depreciation under double declining method = | 101562.50 | ||||||
answer 3) | CCA rate = 30% | ||||||
Beginning value | Depreciation | Depreciation | year end value | ||||
2018 | 500000 | =500000*30%/2 | 75000 | 425,000 | |||
2019 | 425,000 | =425000*30% | 127500 | 297,500 | |||
therefor 2019 depreciation under CCA method = | 127500 |
