Answer:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Explanation:

When accounting for a subsidiary, equity method is followed, whenever the shareholding percentage is equal or more than 20%.

There is no statutory requirement to follow such initial value method for internal reporting.

The correct reason therefore, is:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Annual depreciation charge=cost-salvage value/useful life

cost is $610,000

salvage value is $61,000

useful life is 9 years

Annual depreciation charge=($610,000-$61,000)/9=$61000

The depreciation of charge of $61000   is applicable to years 2018 ,2019 and 2020 respectively.

revised depreciation charge=$610,000-($61,000*3)-$99,000/(5-3)=

$164,000.00
