Question

6 years ago paid 490,000 using 40 year straight line depreciation, what is the value

Answer 1

AS land cannot be depreciated we will first subtract the value of the land from the complex so we are left with $390,000 (490,000-100,000) In straight line method each year the asset is depreciated by the same amount so in order to find out yearly depreciation we will divide 390,000 by 40 =9750 In 6 years the complex has depreciated for $58,500 So the current value of the apartment complex would be (490,000-58500) The current value of the apartment complex is $431500
