Hoarding Warehouses purchases a building for $1,195,000 on January 1, 20X1 with an assumed $100,000 salvage value and a 20-year total useful life (assume a straight-line method). On January 1, 20X6, the company changes the building estimates to a $110,000 salvage value and a 24-year total useful life. How much “depreciation” will be taken in 20X6?
Annual depreciation before 2016 | ||||
Annual Depreciation = (Cost Of The Asstes- Salvage Value)/ Life Of The Asset | ||||
= $1195000-100000/20 years | ||||
= $54750 per year | ||||
Accumulated depreciation as on 1- jan 2016 | ||||
=$54750*15 | ||||
=$821250 | ||||
Book value =$1195000-821250 =373750 | ||||
Revised depreciation | ||||
Annual Depreciation = (Cost Of The Asstes- Salvage Value)/ Life Of The Asset | ||||
= $373750-110000/9 years | ||||
= $29305.56 per year | ||||
Depreciation for 2016 =$29305.56 | ||||
