On January 1, 2021, THE Company purchased a piece of equipment that cost $160,000. The equipment had a ten year life and a $28,000 salvage value assigned to it. THE Company will depreciate the equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. On January 1, 2025, THE Company determined the life of the equipment should be revised from 10 to 16 years. Calculate the depreciation expense recorded on the equipment for 2025.
Straight line Depreciation :
Annual Depreciation : ( Cost - Salvage Value) / Life in years
= (160,000-28,000)/10 = 13,200
Depreciation from ( Jan 1st 2021 to Jan 1st 2015) = 13,200*4 = 52,800
Book Value on Jan 1st 2015 = 160,000-52,800 =107,200
Revised Life = From 10 years to 16 years
Remaining Life = 16-4 = 12 years
Revised Depreciation Per YEar = ( Book value - Salvage Value ) / Remaining Life
= (107,200-28,000)/ 12 = $6,600
Answer : Depreciation for 2025 = $6,600
