Question

Assume Purity Ice Cream Company, Inc., in Ithaca, NY, bought a new ice cream maker at the beginning of the year at a cost of $9,000. The estimated useful life was four years, and the residual value was $1,000. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine was 16,000 hours. Actual annual usage was 5,500 hours in Year 1; 3,800 hours in Year 2; 3,200 hours in Year 3; and 3,500 hours in Year 4.Required: Complete a separate depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods. Do not round intermediate calculations a. Straight-line. reciati Book Value At acquisition b.

Answer 1

Answer:

Purity Ice Cream Company

a. Depreciation Schedule, using straight-line method:

                    Cost       Depreciation    Accumulated     Net Book

                                      Expense        Depreciation    Value

Year 1         $9,000         $2,000            $2,000           $7,000

Year 2        $9,000         $2,000              4,000              5,000

Year 3        $9,000         $2,000              6,000              3,000

Year 4        $9,000         $2,000              8,000               1,000

b. Depreciation Schedule, using unit of production method:

                    Cost       Depreciation    Accumulated     Net Book

                                      Expense        Depreciation    Value

Year 1         $9,000         $2,750            $2,750           $6,250

Year 2        $9,000         $1,900              4,650              4,350

Year 3        $9,000         $1,600              6,250              2,750

Year 4        $9,000         $1,750              8,000               1,000  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of ice cream maker = $9,000

Estimated useful life = 4 years

Residual value = $1,000

Depreciable amount = $8,000 ($9,000 - $1,000)

Annual depreciation (Straight-line method) = $2,000 ($8,000/4)

Estimated productive life the machine = 16,000 hours

Annual usage:              Depreciation Expense

Year 1  5,500 hours          $2,750

Year 2  3,800 hours           1,900

Year 3  3,200 hours           1,600

Year 4 3,500 hours            1,750

Total  16,000 hours         $8,000

Depreciation rate per hour = $0.50 ($8,000/16,000)
