Answer:

= $62 billion

Explanation:

Since the country started year 1 with no public debt,

The country's debt at the end of year 5 = $50 (deficit year 2) + $30 (deficit year 3) - $20 (surplus year 4, negative deficit) + $2 (deficit year 5)).

= $62 billion

The country's debt at the end of year 5 = $62 billion

Public debt is the sum of deficits and surpluses (negative deficits) over time.

  • Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 900
  •     Cr Cash 900

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the truck for the fiscal year. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years, with a residual value of $4,000 for the truck.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x $24,000 = $12,000

  • Dr Depreciation expense 12,000
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 12,000

<u>Year 2 </u>

Jan. 9. Purchased a new truck for $50,000, paying cash.

  • Dr Truck new 50,000
  •     Cr Cash 50,000

Feb. 28. Paid garage $250 to tune the engine and make other minor repairs on the used truck.

  • Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 250
  •     Cr Cash 250

Apr. 30. Sold the used truck for $9,500. (Record depreciation to date in Year 2 for the truck.)

depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x 4/12 x $12,000 = $2,000

  • Dr Depreciation expense 2,000
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 2,000

truck sold at $9,500 - $10,000 (carrying value) = -$500 loss on sale

  • Dr Cash 9,500
  • Dr Accumulated depreciation 14,000
  • Dr Loss on sale - truck 500
  •     Cr Truck 24,000

Dec. 31. Record depreciation for the new truck. It has an estimated residual value of $12,000 and an estimated life of eight years.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.125 x $50,000 = $12,500

  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck new 12,500

<u>Year 3 </u>

  •     Cr Cash 58,500

Sept. 4. Sold the truck purchased January 9, Year 2, for $36,000. (Record depreciation to date for Year 3 for the truck.)

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.125 x 8/12 x $37,500 = $6,250

  • Dr Depreciation expense 6,250
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck new 6,250

truck sold at $36,000 - $31,250 (carrying value) = $4,750 gain on sale

  • Dr Cash 36,000
  • Dr Accumulated depreciation 18,750
  •     Cr Truck new 50,000
  •     Cr Gain on sale - truck new 4,750

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the remaining truck. It has an estimated residual value of $16,000 and an estimated useful life of 10 years.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.1 x 4/12 x $58,500 = $3,900

  • Dr Depreciation expense 3,900
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck three 3,900
