Sophia Company purchased equipment costing $120,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an estimated useful life

of 50,000 units. Using the units-of-activity method, calculate the depreciation for year 1 and year 2, assuming that the company produced 10,000 units in year 1 and 23,000 units in year 2.

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $72,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of th
Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h2>Dexter Industries</h2>

1. Depreciation Expense for the three years ending December 31:

i) Straight-line Method:

Depreciation charge = (Cost - Residual Value)/Useful life

= Depreciable amount/useful life

Annual Depreciation = ($72,000 - $4,500)/3 = $22,500

Depreciation Expense:

Year 1      $22,500

Year 2     $22,500

Year 3     $22,500

ii) Units-of-Activity Method

Depreciable amount x (hours used/useful life in hours)

or Depreciable amount per hour x hours used

Depreciable amount = $72,000 - $4,500 = $67,500

Depreciation Expense:

Year 1      $28,500 (7,600/18,000 x $67,500) or 7,600 x $3.75

Year 2     $22,500 (6,000/18,000 x $67,500) or 6,000 x $3.75

Year 3     $16,500 (4,400/18,000 x $67,500) or 4,400 x $3.75

iii) Double-Declining-Balance Method

Steps:

Divide 100/useful life = 33.33333%.  This is the straight-line percentage.

Multiply this by 2, to obtain the percentage for double-declining method.

This gives 66.66666%

Depreciation Expenses:

Year 1 = $48,000 ($72,000 x 66.66666%)

Year 2 = $16,000 (($72,000 - $48,000) x 66.66666%))

Year 3 = $3,500  not $5,000 (($72,000 - $48,000 - $16,000) x 66.66666%))

The last year's depreciation cannot exceed the book value less the residual value.

1B) Total Depreciation Expense for the three years by each method:

i) Straight-line Method

Total Depreciation = $22,500 x 3 = $67,500

ii) Units-of-Activity Method

Total Depreciation = $67,500 ($28,500 + 22,500 + 16,500)

iii) Double-Declining-Balance Method

Total Depreciation = $67,500 ($48,000 + 16,000 + 3,500)

2. The method that yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1:

The Double-Declining-Balance Method

3. The method that yields the most depreciation over the three-year life of the equipment:

None.  They yield the same total depreciation because of the presence of the residual value.

Explanation:

1) Cost of Equipment = $72,000

Useful Life = 3 years or 18,000 operating hours

Residual Value = $4,500

2) Depreciation is systematic reduction of the recorded cost of a long-term asset until the asset's value becomes zero or negligible.  It is an accounting estimate based on the entity's judgement.  It is a way of spreading the cost of a noncurrent asset in accordance with the accrual concept and matching principle over the periods that benefit from the long-term asset.  There are many methods which can be adopted.

muminat
Base on my research this type of argument is baseless but it depends on the 100% free enterprise market system. With this system, the government doesn't have regulatory powers to protect the interest of the consumers from the financial institutions. In a situation that without the interest rate modulation, the rate charged on loans could be 40% while the rate paid on savings could be 1%. If this happens the financial institutions will not have to pay FDIC insurance to ensure the solvency of the overall system.
