A machine costs 40000 and it is estimated that it will be used for for 5 years.The estimated salvage value is 8,000 for this purchase. If the straight line depreciation is used, what will the remaining book value balance at the end of year 4? (Note: Find Bn remaining balance after calculating the annual deprecation allowance)
Select one:
a. 10000
b. 8000
c. 11000
d. 16000
e. 18000
f. 14400
SL dep. = (C – S value) / Years
= (40,000 – 8,000) / 5
= 32,000 / 5
= 6,400
Total dep. = SL dep. × 4 years
= 6400 × 4
= 25,600
Remaining BV balance = Cost – Total dep.
= 40,000 – 25,600
= 14,400 (Answer)
This could be cross-checked as below:
Remaining BV balance = Remaining SL dep. For last 1 year + Salvage value
= 6,400 + 8,000
= 14,400 (matched with the above answer)
