Apex Fitness Club uses straight-line depreciation for a machine
costing $26,700, with an estimated four-year life and a $2,850
salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Apex determines
that the machine has three more years of remaining useful life,
after which it will have an estimated $2,400 salvage value.
Required:
1. Compute the machine’s book value at the end of
its second year.
2. Compute the amount of depreciation for each of
the final three years given the revised estimates
1.
Cost
Accumulated depreciation 2 years
Book value at point of revision
2.
Book value at point of revision
Revised salvage value
Remaining depreciable cost
Years of life remaining
Revised annual depreciation year (3-5)
Depreciation under Straight line method = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life
= ($26,700 - $2,850) / 4
= $5,962.5
1. Cost = $26,700
Accumulated depreciation 2 years = $5,962.5 * 2 = $11,925
Book value at point of revision = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $26,700 - $11,925
= $14,775
2. Book value at point of revision = $14,775
Revised salvage value = $2,400
Remaining depreciable cost = Book value at point of revision - Revised salvage value
= $14,775 - $2,400
= $12,375
Years of life remaining = 3
Revised annual depreciation year (3-5) = Remaining depreciable cost / Years of life remaining
= $12,375 / 3
= $4,125
