On January 1, 2024, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $116,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $6,000. The equipment is expected to produce 260,000 units during its life. Required: Calculate depreciation for 2024 and 2025 using each of the following methods.

Respuesta :

Depreciation expenses using Straight line is $11,000

Depreciation expenses using Double-declining balance is $18,400

Depreciation expenses using Units of production is $12,500

Straight-line method of depreciation is regarded as the simplest form of depreciation

The formula for this method is
{[Purchase value of equipment - Estimated residual value) / Estimated service life}

Given information

Purchase value of equipment = $115,000

Estimated residual value = $5,000

Estimated service life = 10

Depreciation expenses = ($115,000 - $5,000) / 10 years

Depreciation expenses = $110,000 / 10

Depreciation expenses = $11,000

Double-declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation method where asset are depreciated at twice the rate in the straight-line method

Depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated service life

Depreciation rate = 1 / 10

Depreciation rate = 10%

So, the rate is double = 10% * 2 = 20%

In year 1, the original cost is $115,000, Depreciation = $23,000 after applying the 20% depreciation rate

in year 2, Depreciation = ($115,000 - $23,000) * 20%

Depreciation = $18,400

Formula for Units-of-production method is
(Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) / Estimated production units

Units-of-production method = [$115,000 - $5,000] / $220,000 units

Units-of-production method = $110,000 / 220,000 units

Units-of-production method = $0.5 per units

For 2021, Depreciation = Production units in 2021 year * Depreciation per unit

Depreciation = 30,000 units × $0.5

Depreciation = $15,000

For 2022, Depreciation = Production units in 2022 year * Depreciation per unit

Depreciation = 25,000 units * $0.5

Depreciation = $12,500
