A contractor purchased a dozer for $180,000 and anticipates using it for nine years. The salvage value of the dozer at the end o
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 1 is $163,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 2 is $146,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 3 is  $129,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 4 is  $112,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 5 is 95,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 6 is 78,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 7 is 61,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 8 is $44,000

The salvage value of the dozer at the end of year 9 is $27,000.

<h3>What is the book value of the dozer?</h3>

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

(180,000 - $27,000) / 9 = $17,000

Book value = cost of the asset - depreciation expense

  • Year 1 = $180,000 - $17,000 = $163,000
  • Year 2 = $163,000 - $17,000 = $146,000
  • Year 3 = $146,000   - $17,000 = $129,000
  • Year 4 =  $129,000 - $17,000 = $112,000
  • Year 5 =   $112,000 - $17,000 = 95,000
  • Year 6 = 95,000  - $17,000 = $78,000
  • Year 7 = $78,000 - $17,000 = $61,000
  • Year 8 =  $61,000  - $17,000 = $44,000
  • Year 9 =   $44,000- $17,000 = $27,000

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Present Value     Years   Interest Rate   Future Value

      PV                     n                   r                  FV

1.  $10,681              10                6%            $19,128

2. $35,157              2                 11%            $43,317

3. $129,107            14                14%            $808,382

4. $65,293            19                13%            $665,816

Present value of future cash flow will be calculated by using discount formula which is as follow:

PV = FV / ( 1 + r ) ^n

1.  PV = $19,128 / ( 1 + 0.06 )^10 = $10,681

2. PV = $43,317 / ( 1 + 0.11 )^2 = $35,157

3. PV = $808,382 / ( 1 + 0.14 ) ^14 = $129,107

4. PV = $665,816 / ( 1 + 0.13 ) ^19 = $65,293
