Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This question is not complete and lacks necessary data and requirements to solve. However, I have found a similar question on the internet and will be using its data to solve for this question. Furthermore, it has not given the name of methods, so I will be solving for two methods, which are:
1. Straight Line Method
2. Sum of the years depreciation Method.
Solution:
Data Missing:
Machine Price = $198,000
Service Life = 5 years or 10,000 hours
Production = 180,000 units
Residual Value = $18000
Now, the data is complete and can be solved for the above mentioned methods of depreciation.
1. Straight Line Method:
As we know,
Asset Cost = $198,000
Residual Value = $18000
Life in Years = 5
Depreciation:
Formula for Straight Line Depreciation is:
(Asset Cost - Residual Value)/life in years
Plugging in the values:
Depreciation = ($198,000 - $18000)/5
Depreciation = $180,000/5
Depreciation = 36000
It will be same for both the years 2016 and 2017 as well.
2. Sum of the years Depreciation Method:
For this, we need to have the depreciable asset value:
Depreciable Asset Value = (Asset Value - Residual Value)
Depreciable Asset Value = ($198,000 - $18000)
Depreciable Asset Value = $180,000
Sum of the years for 2016
Number of years for 2016 = 5
Sum = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Number of years for 2017 = 4
So, the formula for depreciation is:
(Number of years for 2016/Sum of Years) x depreciable Asset Value
(5/15) x 180,000 = 60,000
Similarly, for 2017
(Number of years for 2017/Sum of Years) x depreciable Asset Value
(4/15) x 180,000 = 48,000
Hence,
1. Straight Line Method:
Depreciation for 2016 = 36000
Depreciation for 2017 = 36000
2. Sum of the years Depreciation Method:
Depreciation for 2016 = 60,000
Depreciation for 2017 = 48,000
