d Corporation purchased a depreciable asset for $840300 on January 1, 2018. The estimated salvage value is $87000, and the estimated total useful life is 9 years. The straight-line method is used for depreciation. In 2021, Concord changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $146000. What is 2021 depreciation expense

Answer 1

Answer:

$221,600

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is as follows:

Depreciation expense is

= (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($840,300 - $87,000) ÷ 9

= $83,700 per year

Now the book value would be

= $840,300 - ($83,700 × 3 years)

= $589,200

And, finally the revised depreciation is

= ($589,200 - $146,000) ÷ 2

= $221,600

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
