Answer:
40.
Option (B) $280,000
Based on the information available in the question, we can summarize as follows:-
Cost of the equipment - $1,500,000
Estimated Life - 5 years.
Residual Value - $100,000
Depreciation per year under straight line depreciation method :- (
=Cost of the equipment - Salvage/Residule value)/Estimated life of the asset
=($1,500,000 - $100,000)/5 years
=($1,400,000)/5 years
Straight Line Depreciation = $280,000 per year
Depreciation for 2021 (July 01 - December 30) = $280,000 * 6/12 = $140,000 A
Depreciation for 2022 = $280,000 B
A + B = $320,000
Accumulated Depreciation as of 12/31/2022 = $320,000
41.
Option (C) $780,000
Working:
Straight-lime method (SLM) depreciation rate = 1 / 5 = 0.20
So, Double Declining Balance (DDB) depreciation rate = 0.2 x 2 = 0.40 or 40%
