Question

Wickland Company installs a manufacturing machine in its production facility at the beginning of the year at a cost of $87,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 400,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 84,500 units of product. What journal entry would be needed to record the machines' second year depreciation under the units-of-production method?

Answer 1

Debit Depreciation Expense $16,900; credit Accumulated Depreciation $16,900.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation Expense = [(Cost − Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life (in units)] × Production of Units

Depreciation Expense = [($87,000 − $7,000)/400,000] × 84,500 = $16,900

Answer 2

Depreciation Expense = $16900

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the units of production method. I will get the value of depreciation expense for the year 2. The units of production method calculate the value of depreciation using the formula is given below.

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value) / Total Units of Products x Units of production in second year.

Depreciation expense = ($87000 - $7000) / 400000 x 84500 = $16900

Wickland company will charge depreciation expense of $16900 using the Units of production method as during the second year of Wickland company depreciation expense is $16900.
