ABC Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2009 for $70,000. It was estimated that the equipment would have a $5,000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year useful life. It was also estimated that the equipment would produce 100,000 units over its 4-year life. The company used the straight-line depreciation method. If 16,000 units of product were produced in 2009 and 24,000 units were produced in 2010, what was the book value of equipment at December 31, 2010?
Purchase Price = $ 70,000 on January 01, 2009
Salvage Value = $ 5,000
Useful life = 4 years , Depreciation method = Straight Line Method
Depreciable Value = $ 70,000 - $ 5,000 = $ 65,000
Depreciation per year = $ 65,000 / 4 = $ 16,250.
Book Value of Equipment at december 31, 2010 = Purchase price - Depreciation for 2 years
= $ 70,000 - 2 ( $ 16,250 ) = $ 70,000 - $ 32500 = $ 37,500.
Book Value of Equipment at december 31, 2010 = $ 37,500.
Since the company uses Straight Line Method of Depreciation, the details relating to the Units of Production method of depreciation are not relevant.
