On 1/1/18, Stewart bought a cement mixer for $45,000. It has a
$9,000 salvage value and 5 year useful life.
Under sum of years digits, 2019 depreciation and 12/31/19 book
value are:
A. |
$9,600 and $23,400 respectively. |
|
B. |
$9,600 and $14,400 respectively. |
|
C. |
$9,600 and $28,200 respectively. |
|
D. |
$12,000 and $9,000 respectively. |
Sum of years digits = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1
= 15
Accumulated Depreciation = Cost - salvage value
= $45,000 - $9,000
= $36,000
2018 depreciation expense = Accumulated depreciation * (5/15)
= $36,000 * (5/15)
= $12,000
2019 depreciation expense = Accumulated depreciation * (4/15)
= $36,000 * (4/15)
= $9,600
Book value at the end of the year 2019
= Cost - 2018 depreciation expense - 2019 depreciation expense
= $45,000 - $12,000 - $9,600
= $23,400
$9,600 ad $23,400 is the correct answer
