Depreciation by Two Methods
Equipment acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year at a cost of $118,800 has an estimated residual value of $7,000 and an estimated useful life of 10 years.
a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation
by the straight-line method.
$
b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method.
A) $11180
Explanation :
Straight line depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/ useful life
= (118800 - 7000)/10
=11180
2) straight line depreciation rate = 10%
Year | Net book value, beginning of year |
Double-declining balance depreciation computed as 2 × SL rate × beginning NBV |
Net book value, end of year |
1 | 118800 | 23760 | 95040 |
2 | 95040 | 19008 | 76032 |
Therefore depreciation for
Year 1 = $23760
Year 2 = $19008
