On January 1, 2015, a machine was purchased for $90,900. The machine has an estimated salvage value of $6,060 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. The company closed its books on December 31. Assume a fiscal year-end of September 30. Compute the annual depreciation charges over the asset’s life applying the following methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)
Year Sum-of-the-years'-digits method
2015 - Answer is $ 21210
2016
2017
2018
2019
2020
Salvage value = $6,060
Cost = $90,900
sum of year digit is one of the method for calculating depreciation
Total sum of year of useful life = 5+4+3+2+1 =15
Depreciable asset cost = cost-salvage value
=$90,900-6,060
=$84,840
For the year 2015 depreciation would be calculated for 9 months (Jan-September)
Year | Depreciation Base | Remaining useful life | Depreciation fraction | depreciation | Book Value |
1 | $84,840 | 5 | 5/15 | $21,210[$84,840*5/15]/12*9 | $69,690[$90,900-21,210] |
2 | $84,840 | 4 | 4/15 | $22,624[$84,840*4/15] | $47,066[69,690-22,624] |
3 | $84,840 | 3 | 3/15 | $16,968[$84,840*3/15] | $30,098[47,066-16,968] |
4 | $84,840 | 2 | 2/15 | $11,312[$84,840*2/15] | $18,786 |
5 | $84,840 | 1 | 1/15 | $12,726 [$18,786-6,060] | $6,060 |
