Concord Corp. purchased machinery for $465,000 on May 1, 2017. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, residual value of $15,000, production of 360,000 units, and 25,000 working hours. The machinery will have a physical life of 15 years and a salvage value of $3,000. During 2018, Concord Corp. used the machinery for 2,550 hours and the machinery produced 25,500 units. Concord prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Depreciation charge for 2018

$

Answer 1

Computation of depreciation charge for 2018 under straight-line method:

Depreciation per year under straight-line method = (Cost-Salvage Value)/Useful Life

Particulars		Machinery
		$
Purchas Cost	A	465,000
Estimated Salvage value	B	15,000
Value to be depreciated in its useful life	C=A-B	450,000
Remaining Useful Life of Asset (in Years)	D	15
Depreciation value per year as per SLM	E=C/D	30,000

So as the Machinery was used for the full year 2018, depreciation for 2018 under straight-line method = $30,000
