Depreciation Methods
The word "depreciation" is defined as an accounting method wherein the cost of tangible assets is spread over its useful life and it usually denotes how much of the assets value has been used up. The depreciation is usually considered as an operating expense. The main reason behind depreciation includes wear and tear of the assets, obsolescence etc.
Depreciation Accounting
In terms of accounting, with the passage of time the value of a fixed asset (like machinery, plants, furniture etc.) goes down over a specific period of time is known as depreciation. Now, the question comes in your mind, why the value of the fixed asset reduces over time.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:On 1/1/23, Dugout Co buys a piece of equipment for $512,000. It is estimated that the equipment will have a salvage value of $80,000 at the end of its expected useful life of 8 years.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule using the following methods:
a. Straight-line (SL)
b. Sum-of-the-years'-digits (SYD)
c. Declining balance - 200% (DDB)
2. Assume that the original purchase was made on 5/1/23. Using the "exact" method, determine the yearly depreciation expense for the following depreciation methods:
a. SL
b. SYD
c. DDB
What would the "Half-Year" convention look like for SL?
3. Assume that in 2026, it is discovered that the original purchase (on 1/1/23) was expensed rather than capitalized. Give JE's, ignoring the tax effects, required during 2026 if the DDB method is used.
4. Assume that in 2027, the estimated salvage value is decreased by $45,000 and the expected useful life is changed to a total of 9 years from date of purchase (1/1/23). Prepare depreciation schedules for the following depreciation methods:
a. SL
b. SYD
c. DDB
5. Assume that the SYD method is originally selected (on 1/1/23) and that during 2028, a change to the SL method is made. No change was made to the salvage value or life. Give JE's, ignoring the tax effects, required during 2028.
6. Assume that the equipment is estimated to be used 400,000 hours. Determine the amount of depreciation expense FYE 12/31/23 and 12/31/24, assuming the equipment is used:
a. (2023) 65,000 hours
b. (2024) 72,500 hours
