A company purchased equipment for $400,000 which was estimated to have a useful life of 14 years with a salvage or residual value of $22,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 2 years on a straight-line basis. In 2020 (year 3), it is determined that the total estimated life should be 17 years with a residual or salvage value of $16,000 at the end of that time.
What is the net book value a the time of the change? write out the number, include a comma where appropriate, do not include decimals, do not use a dollar sign (i.e. 200,000)
What is depreciation expense for 2020?
Depreciation under Straight line method | ||||
depreciation = (Cost of the asset - Salvage Value)/ Useful life of asset | ||||
= ($400,000 - $22,000)/14 | ||||
=$378000 / 14 | ||||
=$20000 per year | ||||
Depreciation expense per year = $27000 | ||||
Year | Opening Carrying Amount | Depreciation Expense | Book value | |
2018 | 4,00,000 | 27,000 | 3,73,000 | |
2019 | 3,73,000 | 27,000 | 3,46,000 |
In 2020 (year 3 ) It is determined that the estimated life is 17 years and residual value of $16000
Therefore Depreciation Expense in 2020 = Book value - Salvage ) / Useful life of Asset
=(346000 - 16,000 ) / 17
= 330,000 / 17
= 19,412
