Answer 1

Solution: 1

Asset	Asset Cost	Estimated Salvage	Estimated Life	Depreciable Amount (Cost - salvage)	Annual Depreciation (Depreciable Amount/ Estmated Life
A	$44,550.00	$6,050.00	10	$38,500.00	$3,850.00
B	$36,960.00	$5,280.00	9	$31,680.00	$3,520.00
C	$39,600.00	$3,960.00	9	$35,640.00	$3,960.00
D	$20,900.00	$1,650.00	7	$19,250.00	$2,750.00
E	$25,850.00	$2,750.00	6	$23,100.00	$3,850.00
Total	$167,860.00				$17,930.00

Composite Rate = (Total Annual Depreciation / Total Asset Cost) *100 = $17930/$167860 *100 = 10.68%

Solution 2:

S. No.	Account Titles and Explanation	Debit	Credit
1	Depreciation Expenses Dr	$17,930.00
	To Accumulated depreciation		$17,930.00
	(To Record depreciation for The Year)
2	Cash A/c Dr	$5,280.00
	Accumulated Depreciation Dr (Balsnce Fig.)	$15,620.00
	To Asset D		$20,900.00
	[To record sale of Asset D. (No Loss or gain recognised)]
