Answer:
The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method:
Produce the same total depreciation over an asset's useful life.
Explanation:
The straight-line and the double-declining-balance depreciation methods are two of the four depreciation methods allowed by US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The other two methods are sum of the years' digit and units of production. The straight-line method is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset's cost and either dividing the depreciable amount by the number of years or applying a fixed rate on the depreciable amount. For the double-declining-balance method, 100% is divided by the number of years of the asset's useful life and then multiplying by 2 to obtain the depreciation rate. Depreciation expense is then calculated on the declining balance until the salvage value is left. This is why they produce the same depreciation over the asset's useful life.
Answer:
Effect on income= -$18,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years, the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,200. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $112,000 and receive $21,200 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,200 per year over the four-year life of the new machine.
Year 0= -112,000 + 21,200= -90,800
Year 1 to 4= 18,200*4= 72,800
Effect on income= -90,800 + 72,800= -18,000

Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
Estimated Cost of New Equipment = $500,000
Useful life in years = 5
Estimated Residual Value = $50,000
Expected New Cash Inflows over life of asset = $700,000
Annual depreciation expense = (Estimated Cost of New Equipment-Estimated Residual Value)/Useful life in years
= ($500,000 - $50,000) / 5
= $450,000 / 5
= $90,000
Average annual cash flow = Expected New Cash Inflows over life of asset/ Useful life in years
= $700,000/5
= $140,000
Average annual operating income = Average annual cash flow - Annual depreciation expense
= $140,000 - $90,000
= $50,000
