Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $60,000 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $5,000 at the end of five years.
Using the straight-line method, depreciation expense for 2022 and the book value at December 31, 2022, would be:
Ans:-
Given information is related to Kansas Enterprises.
Depreciation under straight line method
= (Cost of asset - scrap value)/useful life
We know,
Cost of asset =$60,000
Scrap value. =$5,000
Useful life. =5 years
Depreciation. = ($60,000-$5,000)/5
=$55,000/5
=$11,000
Depreciation expense for every year is $11,000
Depreciation expense for the year 2020 is $11,000
Book value at December 31st 2020
= Book value in 2019-depreciation for 2019-depreciation for 2020
=$60,000-$11,000-$11,000
=$38,000
Therefore book value of the equipment at December 31st 2020 is $38,000.
