Question

Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $47,500. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 405,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 34,500 units of product. Determine the machine's second-year depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.

Answer 1

Dep expense for the second year 7,600

Step-by-step explanation:

`\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}Year&Beginning&Dep-Expense&Acc. \: Dep&Ending\\0&-&-&-&47500\\1&47,500&9,500&9,500&38,000\\2&38,000&7,600&17,100&30,400\\\end{array}\right]`

1/10 = straight-line method

straight-line x 2 = DD rate

47,500 x 2/10 = 9500

then we calculate the DD rate again with the book value

47,500-9,500 = 38,000

38,000 x 2/10 = 7,600
