Answer #1

Answer :

Purchase price of Machine on January 3, 2013 = $600,000

Useful life = 10 years

Salvage Value = Nil

Straight line method of depreciation is used

Depreciation for 1 year = $600,000 / 10 = $60,000

Depreciation charged Upto January 2020 = $60,000 x 7 = $420,000

Book Value of Machine on January 2020 = $600,000 - $420,000 = $180,000

Amount paid to overhaul the machine = $150,000

Total book Value of Machine on January 2020 = $180,000 + $150,000 = $330,000

Remaining Useful Life of Machine = 8 years

Depreciation expense for 2020 = $330,000 / 8 = $41,250

So, Correct Option is (a) 41,250
