Question

A company purchased an asset for $3,600,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, and 14.81 percent, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project

Answer 1

Answer:

$266,760

Explanation:

According to the problem, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Purchase value =  $3,600,000

Depreciation for 1st year = 33.33%

Depreciation for 2nd year = 44.85%

Depreciation for 3rd year = 14.81%

So,  Book value = Purchase value × ( 1 - depreciation of all years)

By putting the value we get,

Book Value = $3,600,000 × ( 1 - 33.33% - 44.45% - 14.81% )

= $266,760
