ISIT Corp baught new computer on Apri 23, 2016, it cost $600 and had useful life of 5 years with residual value of $30,000. Make deprciation scedule using the double declining balance method that contains the following and section 179 that contain the columns: year depreciation expense. Accumulated depreciation. book value.
Straight line depreciation rate = 20% (100% / 5)
Therefore, under the double declining method rate will be 40% each year.
Computer cost $600 and salvage value $30 (In question it is given $30000 which cannot be)
Year | Depreciation exp | Accumulated Depreciation | Book value |
2016 | 120.00 | 120.00 | 480.00 |
2017 | 192.00 | 312.00 | 288.00 |
2018 | 115.20 | 427.20 | 172.80 |
2019 | 69.12 | 496.32 | 103.68 |
2020 | 69.12 | 565.44 | 34.56 |
2021 | 4.56 | 570.00 | 30.00 |
Notes:
1. For the first year, we will use the half year convention rate and thus depreciation will be = 600 x 40% x6/12
2. for the years 2017 and 2018, depreciation will be = Book value x 40%
3. In the year 2019, since depreciation under declining method will be less than SLM, we need to shift back to SLM method. Depreciation = 172.80 / 2.5 = 69.12 and similary for year 2020 depreciation = 103.68 / 1.5
4. In the year 2021, depreciation will be 4.56 to bring the book value to $30.
PS: Pls inform if the salvage value is wrong. You can use the formula to get the answer in case of any different value from assumption.
