CORRECT ANSWER: 4996.25

Expert Solution

According to my calculations,

Accelarated Depreciation Percentage = ((cost of asset - salvage value) / years of useful life) x 2

So, 111898/15 * 2 = 14919.73

Company Zeta depreciation expense under the Accelarated Depreciation method is $111898 x 13.33333% = $14919.73. Company Zeta is essentially expensing 13.33333% of the asset's cost in the first year, and in each subsequent year it will multiply that 13.33333% by the remaining balance to be depreciated

2000 - First Year Depreciation would be Cost of Furniture which included installation will be 111898*13.33333% *(255 (Number of days)/365) = 10423.37 (From Apr 21 to Dec 31 2000)

2001 - Second Year Depreciation would be 111898-10423.37 *13.33333% = 13529.94

2002 - Third year Depreciation would be 111898-10423.37 -13529.94*13.33333% = 11725.95

2003 - Fourth Year Depreciation would be 111898-10423.37 -13529.94-11725.95*13.33333% = 10162.49

2004 - Fifth Year Depreciation would be 111898-10423.37 -13529.94-11725.95-10162.49*13.33333%*(155(Number of Day/365) = 3740.16

So, as of June 5th 2004 the Value of Depreciation would be 3740.16
