a. straight line $__29,700___:
b. Units-of-output $__37,875___:
c. Working Hours $___31,482___:
d. Sum-of-the-years-digits $____48,600_____:
e. Declining balance (use 20% as the annual rate) = $54,704
Explanation:
Cost of machinery purchased on May 1, 2020 = $315,600
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Salvage value = $18,600
Depreciable amount = $297,000
Production units = 237,600
Working hours = 25,000
Straight-line method:
Annual Depreciation Expense = $29,700 ($297,000/10)
Production units:
Depreciation per unit = $1.25 ($297,000/237,600)
Working hours:
Depreciation per hour = $11.88 ($297,000/25,000)
Sum-of-the-years-digits = 55 years;
Depreciation per year = $5,400 ($297,000/55)
Declining balance rate = 20% (100/10 * 2)
During 2021:
Straight-line:
Depreciation expense = $29,700
Machine hours used = 2,650
Depreciation expense = 2,650 * $11.88
= $31,482
Production units = 30,300
Depreciation expense = 30,300 * $1.25
= $37,875
Sum-of-the-years-digits:
Depreciation expense = 9 * $5,400 = $48,600
Declining balance:
2020 = $315,600 * 20% * 8/12 = $63,120 * 8/12 = $42,080
2021 balance = $273,520
2021 Depreciation expense = $273,520 * 20% = $54,704
