Instructions

  1. Compute the depreciation for this asset for 2017 and 2018 using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.
  2. Compute the depreciation for this asset for 2017 and 2018 using the double-declining-balance method.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Depreciation for 2017 is $46,500 and for 2018 is $59,675
  2. Depreciation for 2017 is 453,325and for 2018 is $65,768

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Depreciation                                                                                                     

The term "depreciation" refers to the process of diminishing the book value of fixed assets over time.Shrinkage is calculated using the cost of the assets used in the company rather than the market worth of the assets.

02

(a) Computing the depreciation for the asset for 2017 and 2018 using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.

Calculating the sum of years’ digit value

Sumofyear'sdigits=n(n+1)2=20(20+1)2=210

Calculating depreciation for 2017

Deprecaition=(Plantassetcost-Salvagevalue)×NumberofmonthNumberofmonthinayear×ServicelifeSumofyear'sdigit=($711,000-$60,000)×912×20210=$651,000×912×20210=$46,500

Calculating depreciation for 2018 for the first 3 month

Deprecaition=(Plantassetcost-Salvagevalue)×NumberofmonthNumberofmonthinayear×ServicelifeSumofyear'sdigit=($711,000-$60,000)×312×20210=$651,000×312×20210=$15,500

Calculating depreciation for 2018 for the first next 9 months

Deprecaition=(Plantassetcost-Salvagevalue)×NumberofmonthNumberofmonthinayear×ServicelifeSumofyear'sdigit=($711,000-$60,000)×912×19210=$651,000×912×19210=$44,175

Therefore depreciation for 2018 is $15,500 + $44,175 = $59,675
03

(b) Compute the depreciation for this asset for 2017 and 2018 using the double-declining-balance method

Calculating double declining percentage

Doubledecliningdepreciationpercentage=100%Usefullife×2=100%20×2=10%

Calculating depreciation for 2017

Depreciation=Plantassetcost×NumberofmonthsNumberofmonthsinayear×Depreciation rate=$711,000×912×10%=$711,000×912×10100=$53,325

Calculating depreciation for 2018

Depreciation=(Plantassetcost-Depreciation for2017)×Depreciation rate=($711,000-$53,325)×10%=$657,675×10100=$65,768
