The Mike Corporation spent $8,400,000 for equipment. The equipment was expected to have a 7-year life and a residual value of $700,000. The Corporation intends to use the straight-line method to depreciate all its assets.

$1,200,000 |

b. |
$1,714,286 |
|
c. |
$1,571,429 |

d. |
$1,100,000 |
Answer : Option D ( 11,00,000 $ )
Cost of Equipment = $ 84,00,000
Salvage Value = $ 7,00,000
Useful life = 7 Years
Depreciation under straight line method = ( Cost - Salavage value ) / useful life
Depreciation for first Year = ( 84,00,000 - 7,00,000 ) / 7 Years
= 11,00,000 $
For Second Year = ( 84,00,000 - 7,00,000 ) / 7
= 11,00,000 $
Note : Under straight line depreciation method asset shoul be depreciated equally over
the useful life of the asset after deducting salvage value .
