Question

Sunland Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2022, at a cost of $80,360. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $7,910. The machine is expected to be used for 70,800 working hours during its 7-year life. Compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for 2022 and 2023, assuming a December 31 year-end.

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $80,360

Salvage value= $7,910

Useful life= 7 years

To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following method:

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

Annual depreciation= (80,360 - 7,910) / 7

Annual depreciation= $10,350

2022:

Annual depreciation= (10,350/12)*2= $1,725

2023:

Annual depreciation= $10,350
