A piece of equipment has a first cost of $399,000. Annual operating and maintenance cost are estimated to be $13,280. Salvage is estimated to be $77,000 after a life of 12 years. Calculate the depreciation in year 7 using (a) straight line depreciation, and (b) MACRS.
A company that manufactures pulse doppler insertion flow meters uses the straight line method for book depreciation purposes. Newly-acquired equipment has a first cost of $170,000 with a 3-year life and $20,000 salvage value. Determine the depreciation charge and book value for year 2.
Hempstead Industries has a new milling machine with B = $110,000, n = 10 years, and S = $10,000. Determine the depreciation schedule and present worth of depreciation at i = 12% per year, using the 175% DB method for the first 5 years and switching to the classical SL method for the last 5 years. Use a spreadsheet to solve this problem and plot the book values.
Earthmoving equipment with a first cost of $150,000 is expected to have a life of 10 years. The salvage value is expected to be 10% of the first cost. Calculate (a) by hand, and (b) by spreadsheet the depreciation charge and book value for years 2 and 7 using the SYD method.
Halcrow Yolles purchased equipment for new highway construction in Manitoba, Canada, costing $500,000 Canadian. Estimated salvage at the end of the expected life of 5 years is $50,000. Various acceptable depreciation methods are being studied currently. Determine the depreciation for year 2 using the DDB, 150% DB and SL methods. Solve (a) by hand, and (b) by spreadsheet function.
Henry has an assignment from his boss at Czech Glass and Wood Sculpting to evaluate depreciation methods for writing off the $240,000 first cost of a newly acquired Trotec CO2 laser system for engraving and cutting. Productive life is 8 years and salvage is estimated at $10,000. Henry wants to compare the PW of depreciation at i = 13% per year for DDB-to-SL switching with MACRS for n = 7 years to determine which is the preferred method. 1.The present worth of DDB-to-SL depreciation values is $ 2.The present worth of MACRS depreciation values is $ The MACRS method is preferred.
A robot used in simulated car crashes cost $70,000, has no salvage value, and has an expected capacity of tests not to exceed 10,000 according to the manufacturer. Volvo Motors decided to use the unit-of-production depreciation method because the number of test crashes per year in which the robot would be involved was not estimable. Determine the annual depreciation and book value for the first 3 years if the number of tests were 3810, 2720, and 5390 per year.
A piece of equipment having a negligible salvage and scrap value is estimated to have a MACRS and straight line recovery period of 5 years. The original cost of the equipment was $50,000. Determine (1) the depreciation charge for the second year if straight-line deprecia- tion is used and the percent of the original investment paid off in the first 2 years, and (2) the depreciation charge for the fifth year if the modified acceleration cost recovery system (MACRS) is used, and the percent of the original investment paid off in the first 2 years.
A company just purchased an intelligent robot, which has a first cost of $284,000. Since the robot is unique in its capabilities, the company expects to be able to sell it in 4 years for $200,000. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. If M&O costs are $100,000 per year, determine the MACRS depreciation in year 3. Assume the recovery period for robots is 5 years and the MARR is 12% when the inflation rate is 4% per year. The MACRS depreciation in year 3 is $ 102240 *
Using a spreadsheet, compute the book values of $12,000 asset over a seven year life, with declining balanece depreciation (d=0.25). Also, compute the book values of the $12,000 asset using straight line depreciation, with a scrap value of $2,000 after seven years. Determine the book values.
