Question

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $74,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a ten-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of ten years. Using the straight-line method, depreciation expense for 2022 and the book value at December 31, 2022, would be: Multiple Choice $6,805 and $54,440. $7,450 and $59,600. $7,450 and $53,150. $6,805 and $60,890.

Answer 1

Answer:

$6,805 and $60,890.

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2022 and the book value at December 31, 2022 is shown below;

Depreciation expense is

= (Cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= ($74,500 - $6,450) ÷ 10 years

= $6,805

And, the book value is

= $74,500 - ($6,805 × 2)

= $60,890
