Year 4 $ 7,400 $8,325 $3,629
Year 5 $ 7,400 $1,850 $2,177
Straight Line Method will result in the highest Net Income. This is because it provides for the lowest charge of depreciation expense
Explanation:
Straight-line
Straight line method charges the same amount of depreciation (fixed on cost) over the useful life of an asset.
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
= ($42,000 - $5,000) ÷ 5
= $ 7,400
<u>Annual Straight line Depreciation Charge</u>
Year 1 = $ 7,400
Year 2 = $ 7,400
Year 3 = $ 7,400
Year 4 = $ 7,400
Year 5 = $ 7,400
Units of Production
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) / Total Expected Production × Period`s Production
Therefore,
Depreciation Charge = Rate of depreciation × Period`s Production
then,
Rate of depreciation = ($42,000 - $5,000) / 20,000 units
= $1.85 per unit of production
<u>Annual Units of Production Deprecation Charge</u>
Year 1 = 4,500 units × $1.85 = $8,325
Year 2 = 5,500 units × $1.85 = $10,175
Year 3 = 4,500 units × $1.85 = $8,325
Year 4 = 4,500 units × $1.85 = $8,325
Year 5 = 1,000 units × $1.85 = $1,850
Double-declining-balance.
Depreciation Expense = 2 × SLDP × BVSLDP
Where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ Number of useful life
= 100 ÷ 5
= 20 %
<u>Annual Double-declining-balance Expense</u>
Year 1 = 2 × 20% × $42,000
= $16,800
Year 2 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800)
= $10,080
Year 3 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800 - $10,080)
= $6,048
Year 4 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800 - $10,080 - $6,048)
= $3,629
Year 5 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800 - $10,080 - $6,048- $3,629)
= $2,177
