Novak Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2020. Assume that no entries for depreciation have been recorded in 2020. The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you.
1. Novak purchased equipment on January 2, 2017, for $86,300. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a $5,300 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2020, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a $2,800 salvage value.
2. During 2020, Novak changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $300,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $30,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2018 and 2019.

2019

2018

Straight-line $27,000 $27,000
Declining-balance 48,000 60,000
3. Novak purchased a machine on July 1, 2018, at a cost of $120,000. The machine has a salvage value of $20,000 and a useful life of 8 years. Novak’s bookkeeper recorded straight-line depreciation in 2018 and 2019 but failed to consider the salvage value.

Prepare the journal entries to record depreciation expense for 2020 and correct any errors made to date related to the information provided. (Ignore taxes.)

Show comparative net income for 2019 and 2020. Income before depreciation expense was $310,000 in 2020, and was $340,000 in 2019. (Ignore taxes.)

Anja is an advisor. She uses her own car to travel to various locations to meet clients. She acquired a car on 1 March 2020 for $57,000. The acquisition cost was funded entirely by a loan at an interest rate of 10%. She has determined that the depreciation deduction on the car would be $5,700 for the year. In addition, Anja incurred the following expenses during the year:

• Registration and insurance = $5,000;
• Repairs and maintenance = $300; and
• Oil and fuel costs = $4,100.

For the period 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2020, Anja estimates that the car travelled a total of 12,000 kilometres; 8,000 of which were for business purposes. You may assume that Anja has maintained all necessary records and a logbook. Assume that depreciation has been adjusted for partial year use and the impact of the car limit.

i. Calculate Anja's deduction for car expenses under "cents per kilometre" method 1.5 marks
ii. Calculate Anja's deduction for car expenses under log book method 1.5 marks
iii. Which method is preferable for Anja and why? 2 marks
