On January 2, 2015 Lev Company purchases equipment for use in fabrication of a part for one of its key products. The equipment costs $95,000, and its estimated useful life is 5 years, after which it is expected to be sold for $10,000.
Required:
a) Show how the equipment is reported on Lev’s balance sheet at the end of the third year assuming straight-line depreciation.
b) Lev decides to sell the equipment on January 2nd of 2018 for $40,000. Prepare the journal entries to record the sale of the asset assuming that Lev uses SL depreciation, and then prepare the entry for the sale assuming that Lev uses DDB.
straight line depreciation = cost-salvage/useful life
=$95,000-$10,000/5
=$17,000
a) straight line method schedule of depreciation
year | depreciable amount | depreciation | Book value | |
2015 | $95,000 | $17,000 | $78,000 [95000-17000] | |
2016 | $78,000 | $17,000 | $61,000 [78000-17000] | |
2017 | $61,000 | $17,000 | $44,000[61000-17000] | |
Accumulated depreciation | $51,000 | |||
book value at the end of 3rd year would be $44,000
it would reflect as follows on balance sheet

b] sold for $40,000 loss = book value as on date of sale-sale value

DDB =double declining method it depreciates at the rate double than straight line rate.
DDB rate = 100%/useful life *2
=100/5 *2
=40%
years | depreciable value | depreciation | book value | |
2015 | $95,000 | $38,000[95000*40%] | $57,000[$95,000-$38,000] | |
2016 | $57,000 | $22,800 [57000*40%] | $34,200[57000-22800] | |
2017 | $34,200 | $13,680[34,200*40%] | $20,520 [34,200-13,680] | |
Accumulated depreciation | $74,480 | |||
gain(loss) = sale value- book value
=$40,000-$20,520
=19,480$ gain
