Determining asset cost, preparing depreciation schedules (3 methods), and identifying depreciation results that meet management

objectives
On January 3, 2018, Rapid Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $100,000. Before placing the truck in service, Rapid spent $3,000 painting it, $600 replacing tires, and $10,400 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $12,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 32,000 miles in each of the first four years and 8,000 miles in the fifth year—136,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Andy Sargeant, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
Rapid prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use, Consider the first year that Rapid uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company’s objectives.

Answer:

total cost = $100,000 + $3,000 + $600 + $10,400 = $114,000

straight line depreciation expense = ($114,000 - $12,000) x 1/5 = $20,400

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $20,400                         $93,600

2                  $20,400                         $73,200

3                  $20,400                         $52,800

4                  $20,400                         $32,400

5                  $20,400                         $12,000

<u>RESULTS IN HIGHER INCOME DURING THE FIRST YEAR. </u>

<u />

units of production deprecation = ($114,000 - $12,000) / 136,000 = $0.75 per mile

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $24,000                         $90,000

2                  $24,000                         $66,000

3                  $24,000                         $42,000

4                  $24,000                         $18,000

5                  $6,000                           $12,000

double-declining-balance depreciation:

depreciation year 1 = $114,000 x 2/5 = $45,600

depreciation year 2 = $68,400 x 2/5 = $27,360

depreciation year 3 = $41,040 x 2/5 = $16,416

depreciation year 4 = $24,624 x 2/5 = $9,850

depreciation year 5 = $14,774 - $12,000 = $2,774

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $45,600                         $68,400

2                  $27,360                         $41,040

3                  $16,416                           $24,624

4                  $9,850                           $14,774

5                  $2,774                            $12,000

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$1,150

Explanation:

Implicit rental rate refers to the cost that a company incurred by spending money as opposed to what that money could earn if it were invested in something else. Therefore since in a year the computer was worth $1000 less and Wanda also lost out on the 5% that the savings account would have generated which would be $150. Then her total cost is that of $1,150

This shows distinctly the savings, profits and obligations of the company against its internal and external employees. Owing to the fact that all documents (whether charged or not) were kept independently under an accrual accounting.
