Question

Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $25,500 that has an estimated residual value of $2,300 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. It is estimated that the machine will output an estimated 1,160,000 copies. This year, 221,000 copies were made.

A. Determine the depreciable cost.
B. Determine the depreciation rate $ per copy
C. Determine the units-of-output depiction for the year.

Answer 1

(A) $23,200

(B) $0.02 per copy

(C) $4,420

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cost of equipment = $25,500

Estimated residual value = $2,300

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Estimated Output = 1,160,000 copies

Copies made this year = 221,000

Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of fixed assets with the passage of time.

(A) The depreciable cost is determined by subtracting the residual value from the cost of acquiring copying equipment.

Depreciable cost:

= Cost of equipment - Estimated residual value

= $25,500 - $2,300

= $23,200

(B) Depreciation rate is calculated by dividing the depreciable cost by the estimated output.

Depreciation rate:

= Depreciable cost ÷ Estimated output

= $23,200 ÷ 1,160,000

= $0.02 per copy

(C) Units-of-output depreciation for the year is calculated by multiplying the depreciation rate with the number of copies made this year.

Units of output depreciation for the year:

= Depreciation rate × Copies made this year

= $0.02 per copy × 221,000

= $4,420
