Question

​Viva, Inc. bought machine X for two years ago. The machine had no residual value and had an estimated useful life of 10 years. If the company uses the straightline depreciation​ method, calculate the current book value of the machine.

Answer 1

the current book value of the machine is $14,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the current book value of the machine is shown below:

The Annual Depreciation is

= (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ (Useful Life)

= ($18,000 - 0) ÷ 10 years

= $1,800

Now the depreciation for two years is

= $1,800 × 2

= $3,600

So, the current book value is

= Cost - accumulated depreciation

= $18,000 - $3,600

= $14,400

Hence, the current book value of the machine is $14,400
