A machine costing $450,000 with a four-year life and an estimated $30,000 salvage value is installed by Lux Company on January 1. The factory estimates the machine will produce 1,050,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units for the first 2 years: year 1, 260,000; year 2, 275,000. What is the depreciation amount for year 2 under the double declining balance method

Respuesta :

Answer:

$112,500

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)  

Depreciation expense in year 1 = 2/4 x $450,000 = $225,000

Book value at the beginning of year 2 =  $450,000 - $225,000 =  $225,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 2/4 x $225,000 = $112,500
