What is the depreciation? deduction, using each of the following? methods, for the third year for an asset that costs ?$32,000 and has an estimated MV of ?$7,000 at the end of its nine?-year useful? life? Assume its MACRS class life is also nine years.? (a) 200?% ?DB, (b) GDS? (MACRS), and? (c) ADS? (MACRS).
Calculation of depreciation
1) 200% DB
Rate of depreciation = (32000-7000)/9 = $2777.77
-? 2777.77 / 25000 =?11.11% * 2 = 22.22%
Yr 1 cost of asset = 32000
- depr @11.11% = 3556
till WDV =? 28444 year 1
- depr @22.22% = 6321
till WDV =? 22123 year 2
- depr @ 22.22% = 4916
till WDV =? 17207 year 3
Therefore depreciation for the 3rd year is $4916
2) GDS method i.e. General depreciation system is of the sub type of MACRS (modified accelerated cost recovery system) . It is the declining method of depreciation.
Rate of depreciation = (32000- 7000)/9 = 2777.77
now , 2777.77 / 25000 = 11.11%
year 1 : cost of asset = 32000
- depr @11.11%= 3556
WDV year 1 = 28444
-depr @ 11.11%= 3160
WDV Year 2 = 25284
- depr @ 11.11%= 2809
WDV year 3 = 22475
Therefore , depreciation at year end 3 shall be $ 2809
3) ADS method of depreciation i.e: alternative depreciation system. It is also a sub type of MACRS.
The ADS offers depreciation over a longer course of time, the yearly deductions for depreciation are smaller than the other method.
Here in this ques , new number of year is not provided. so we cannot calculate ads depreciation.
We can either assume any year and then calculate depreciation.
