Marigold Corp. purchased a depreciable asset for $617000 on
January 1, 2018. The estimated salvage value is $59000, and the
estimated useful life is 9 years. The straight-line method is used
for depreciation. In 2021, Marigold changed its estimates to a
total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $96000. What
is 2021 depreciation expense?
$62000
$186000
$92400
$167500
Answer: Option $167500
Exlanation:
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value)/ Useful life of Asset
=($617000 -$59000)/9
= $62000 per year
Accumulated Depreciation Expense from Jan 1 2018 to 31 Dec 2020 = $62000*3 = $186000
Book Value of Asset on Januar 1 2021 = $617000 - $186000 = $431000
In the year 2021 Marigold changed its useful life and Salvage value. So the Depreciation for 2021 is
Depreciation =(Book Value - Revised Salvage Value )/ remaining Useful Life
=($431000 -$96000)/(5-3)
=$335000/3
=$167500
