Answer: 50400
Explanation:
- Straight-line rate= 100%/ 5 years= 20%
- Double declining Expense= 20% x 2= 40%
From Oct1 to Dec 31 is 9 months/ 12 months a year
- Depreciation Expense year 1= $120000x 0.4x 9/12= $36000
- Book value year 1= beginning year 2= $120000-$36000= $84000
- Book value year 2= $84000- ($84000x0.4)= $50400
The asset is valued at $60,000 at the end of year 2 December by using the asset depreciated on the double-declining-balance method.
What is Depreciation?
Depreciation is allocated to charge a reasonable percentage of the depreciable value throughout each accounting period for the asset's anticipated useful life.
Given,
Purchase Value = $120,000 ( On October 1)
Expected Life = 5 Years
Salvage Value = $15,500
Required to calculate asset value at the End of Year 2 =?
Depreciation Rate = Book Value x 2 divided by Life of Asset
= $120,000 x 2/5 = $48,000
Depreciation Rate = 48,000 x 100/ 120,000 = 40%
Book Value of Year 1 = 120,000 - 120,000 x 40% x 3/12 = $108,000
Book Value for end Year 2 = $108,000 - 120,000 x 40% = $60,000.
Thus, the Book value of the asset at end of year 2 is $60,000.
