Answer 1

Part 1

straight-line

Year Book value at beginning Depreciation expense accumulated depreciation Book value at end

0 - - - 26300

1 26300 [26300-1500]/4 =6200 6200 20100

2 20100 6200 12400 13900

3 13900 6200 18600 7700

4 7700 6200 24800 1500

units-of-production

Year Book value at beginning Depreciation expense    accumulated depreciation    Book value at end

0 - - - 26300

1 26300 23400/100000*24800=5803.2 5803.2 20496.8

2 20496.8   20100/100000*24800=4984.8 10788 15512

3   15512   33100/100000*24800=8208.8 18996.8 7303.2

4 7303.2   23400/100000*24800=5803.2 24800 1500

double declining basis

Year Book value at beginning Depreciation expense    accumulated depreciation    Book value at end

0 - - - 26300

1 26300 26300 * 50%= 13150 13150 13150

2 13150 13150 * 50% = 6575 19725 6575

3 6575 6575 *50% = 3287.5 23012.5 3287.5

4 3287.5 1787.5 24800 1500

Part 2
