Hoover Corporation purchased equipment on January
1,2019,for$610,000.In 2019 and 2020,Hoover depreciated the asset on
a straight-line basis with an estimated useful life
of eight years and a$10,000 residual value.In 2021,due to changes
in technology,Hoover revised the useful life to a total of four
years with no residual value.What
depreciation would Hoover record for the year 2021 on this
equipment?(Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Here,
Cost of equipment = $ 610000
Useful life of years= 8 years
Residual value = $ 10000
Depreciation for 2019 and 2020 under straight line method = (cost - residual value) /useful life of years
= ($ 610000 - $ 10000) /8 = $ 75000 per year
At the end of 2020 the book value of equipment=$ 610000-($ 75000*2) = $ 460000
Depreciation for the year 2021=(Book value - revised salvage value) /revised remaining useful life
=( $ 460000 - 0) /2 = $ 460000/2 = $ 230000.
