On January 1, 2019, Sandhill Corporation acquired machinery at a cost of $1290000. Sandhill adopted the double-declining balance method of depreciation for this machinery and had been recording depreciation over an estimated useful life of ten years, with no residual value. At the beginning of 2022, a decision was made to change to the straight-line method of depreciation for the machinery. The depreciation expense for 2022 would be

Answer 1

Answer:

$94,354.29

Explanation:

Depreciation rate = 100/10*2 = 20%

2019 Depreciation = 1290000 * 20% = $258000

2020 Depreciation = 1290000 * 80% * 20% = $206400

2021 Depreciation = 1290000 * 80% * 80% * 20% = $165120

Accumulated depreciation (2019 to 2021) = $258000 + $206400 + $165120 = $629,520

Depreciation expense for 2022 = (1290000 - 629,520) / 7

Depreciation expense for 2022 = 660480 / 7

Depreciation expense for 2022 = $94,354.29
