Question

A company purchased a machine for $190,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $10,000. It is estimated that the machine could produce 75,000 parts over its useful life. In the first year, 15,000 parts were produced. In the second year, 19,000 parts were produced. Using the units-of-activity/production method, what is the net book value of the machine at the end of the second year

Answer 1

$108,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net book value of the machine at the end of the second year is shown below:

But before that the accumulated depreciation would be determined

For first year, the depreciation expense is

= ($190,000 - $10,000) × 15,000 ÷ 75,000

= $36,000

For the second year, the depreciation expense is

= ($190,000 - $10,000) × 19,000 ÷ 75,000

= $45,600

Now the net book value is

= $190,000 - $36,000 - $45,600

= $108,400
