Jensen Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2018, at a cost of $104,000. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $8,000. The machine is expected to be used for 80,000 working hours during its 8-year life.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $80,000

Salvage value= $8,000

Useful life= 8 years

To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2018:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(80,000 - 8,000) / 8]

Annual depreciation= $18,000

Now, the straight-line method:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (80,000 - 72,000) / 8

Annual depreciation= $9,000

It remains constant during useful life.

Finally, the units-of-activity method (suppose 15,000 hours):

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated

Annual depreciation= [(80,000 - 8,000) / 80,000]*15,000

Annual depreciation= $13,500

Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of asset over time and such valued reduction are reflected in the Balance sheet at year ended.

  • Machine usage period is 3 month (1st October 2017 - 31st December 2017)

Computing the Straight-line depreciation for 2017 and 2018

Depreciation for 2017 = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful Life

Depreciation for 2017 = (104,000 - 8,000) /8

Depreciation for 2017 = $96,000 / 8

Depreciation for 2017 = $12,000 per year

For the 3 month, Depreciation for 2017 = $12,000*3/12 = $3,000

Depreciation for 2018 = (Cost - Salvage) / Useful Life

Depreciation for 2018 = ($104,000 - $8,000) /8

Depreciation for 2018= $96,00 ) /8

Depreciation for 2018 = 12000

Computing the Declining-balance using double the straight-line rate for 2017 and 2018

Useful life = 8 Year

Straight line Depreciation % = 1/8

Straight line Depreciation = 0.125

Straight line Depreciation = 12.50%

Depreciation Rate = 2 * 12.50

Depreciation Rate = 25%

Depreciation for Year 2017 = $104,000*25%*3/12

Depreciation Rate = $6,500

Depreciation for Year 2018 = ($104,000 - $6,500)*20%

Depreciation for Year 2018 = $24,375
