Question

Sooner Machinery Company purchased a delivery truck at a cost of $56,000 on March 10, 2018. The truck has a useful life of six years with an estimated salvage value of $5,000. Compute the annual depreciation for the first two calendar years using
a. The straight-line method.
b. The 150% declining-balance method.

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $56,000

Useful life= 6 yearsd

Salvage value= $5,000

a. To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (56,000 - 5,000) / 6= $8,500

Year 1:

Annual depreciation= (8,500/12)*10= $7,083.33

Year 2:

Annual depreciation= $8,500

b. To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 1.5*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Year 1:

Annual depreciation= [(1.5*8,500)/12]*10= $10,625

Year 2:

Annual depreciation= [(51,000 - 10,625)/6]*1.5

Annual depreciation= $10,093.75
