Question

Pharoah Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2019, at a cost of $138,000. The company estimated that the machine will have a salvage value of $22,000. The machine is expected to be used for 10,000 working hours during its 4-year life.
A. Straight Line for 2015

B. Units of Activity for 2015, assuming machine usage was 1,700 hours

C. Declining-balance using the double straight line rate for 2015 and 2016

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $29,000

B. $19,720

C. $69,000

$34,500

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($138,000 - $22,000) / 4 = $29,000

Unit of activity = Cost of asset - Salvage value) / Total working hours

= ($138,000 - $22,000) / 10000 = $11.6

$11.6 × 1700 = $19,720

Double declining method = Depreciation factor × net book value

Depreciation factor = 2 × (1/useful life)

2(1/4) = 0.5

0.5 × $138,000 = $69,000

Net book value = $138,000 - $69,000 = $69,000

Depreciationexpense for the second year = 0.5 × $69,000 = $34,500
