Q- Kites were acquired and placed in service on June 2016.
The unadjusted trial balance shows on Aug 31, 2016 kites $50,000 and the accumulated depreciation kites $12,000.Please prepare the adjustment entries. The company uses the stright line depreciation method.
Dep. under straight line depreciation method.= ( Purchase cost - Salvage value ) / USeful life
Let us assume Salvage value = $ 0 and USeful life = 5 years
Since the info. is missing.
Assume that year ends on Dec. 31
Dep. under straight line depreciation method.= ( 50000 - 0 ) / 5 = $ 10000 per year
SInce Kites were acquired and placed in service on June 2016, therefore, for 2016 , dep. will be charged for 6 months only and journal entry is:-
Dep. exp. ( 10000 * 6/12 ) | 5000 | |
Accumulated dep. | 5000 |
