1. On January 1, 2018, Sanderson Company acquired a machine for $1,060,000.
The estimated useful life of the asset is five years. Residual value at the end of five years is estimated to be $109,000.
What is the book value of the machine at the end of 2019 if the company uses the straight−line
method of depreciation?
2. An asset was purchased for $33,000 on January 1, 2019. The asset's estimated useful life was five years, and its residual value was $4,000. The straight-line method of depreciation was used. Calculate the gain or loss if the asset is sold for $26,000 on December 31, 2019, the last day of the accounting period.
Answer:- 1)- The book value of the machine at the end of 2019 if the company uses the straight−line method of depreciation is= $679600
Explanation:-
Straight line Method:-
= Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset/No. of useful life (years)
=($1060000-$109000)/5 years
=$951000/5 years = $190200
2018 year depreciation =$190200
Book value at 2018 year =$1060000-$190200=$869800
2019 year depreciation =$190200
Book value at 2019 year =$869800-$190200=$679600
2)- The loss on asset is ($1200).
Explanation:-
Straight line Method:-
= Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset/No. of useful life (years)
=($33000-$4000)/5 years
=$29000/5 years = $5800
2019 year depreciation =$5800
Book value at 2018 year =$33000-$5800=$27200
Loss on asset =$2600-$27200
=- $1200
