On March 31, 2015, the company purchased a office furniture for $168,000 which is expected to last 7. The company only records depreciation at the end of the year. (Use your fingers to count the months.)

Expert Solution

Suppose the company uses straight line Depreciation method, annual depreciation will be

Straight Line method

Annual Depreciation = (Machine cost - salvage value)/ useful years

Annual Depreciation= (168000 - 0)/ 7

= (168000)/ 7

= 24000

Since the machine was purchased on 31 march, depreciation will be applied for 9 month only,

SO Depreciation expense for 2015 will be = 24000/12 * 9

= 2000* 9

= 18000

Journal entry will be

Depreciation Expense Dr – 18000

Accumulated depreciation Cr - 18000
