Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $100,000

Salvage value= $25,000

Useful life= 4 years

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

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

Annual depreciation= (100,000 - 25,000) / 4

Annual depreciation= $18,750

Year 1:

Annual depreciation= 18,750

Accumulated depreciation= 18,750

Book value= 100,000 - 18,750= 81,250

Year 2:

Annual depreciation= 18,750

Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*2= 37,500

Book value= 100,000 - 37,500= 62,500

Year 3:

Annual depreciation= 18,750

Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*3= 56,250

Book value= 100,000 - 56,250= 43,750

Year 4:

Annual depreciation= 18,750

Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*4= 75,000

Book value= 100,000 - 75,000= 25,000
