Question

On January 1, 2018, the Allegheny Corporation purchased machinery for $115,000. The estimated service life of the machinery is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The machine is expected to produce 220,000 units during its life. Required: Calculate depreciation for 2018 and 2019 using each of the following methods. 1. Straight line. 2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits. 3. Double-declining balance. 4. One hundred fifty percent declining balance.

Answer 1

Instructions are listed below

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine costs= $115,000.

The estimated service life of the machinery is 10 years.

The estimated residual value is $5,000.

The machine is expected to produce 220,000 units during its life.

1) straight line depreciation= (Machine purchase price - residual value)/ use life

straight line depreciation= (115000 - 5000)/10= 11000

2018= 11000

2019= 11000

2) sum of the years' method= (remaining useful life of the asset/sum of the years' digits)* depreciable cost

2018= 10/(10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)*(115000-5000)= 110000/55=(10/55)*110000= 20000

2019= (9/55)*110000= 18000

3) Double declining balance method= 2* [(Asset cost - residual value)/useful life of the asset]

2018= (1100000/10)*2= 22000

2019= (110000-22000/10)*2= 17600

4) One hundred fifty percent declining balance= [(purchase value-salvage value)/use years]*1.5

2018= (110000/10)*1.5= 16500

2019= [(110000-16500)/10]*1.5= $14025
