Question

Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $48,400. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 394,000 units of product, with a $9,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 33,400 units of product.
Required:
Determine the machineâs second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method.

Answer 1

Answer:the machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method is $3,990 and$40,420 respectively.

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation is calculated as

Depreciation= Initial value – salvage value / useful life

Depreciation=($48,400- $9,000)/10=$3,990

The depreciation expense each year would be $3990

Book value = Cost of asset- accumulated deprecation

Book value = Cost of asset - (2 years x depreciation)

=  $48,400- (2 x $3,990)

= $40,420

Therefore, the machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method is $3,990 and$40,420 respectively.
