When depreciation is recorded each period, what account is debited? a. Depreciation Expense b. Cash c. Accumulated Depreciation d. The fixed asset account involved Use the following information for Multiple-Choice Questions 7-4 through 7-6: Cox Inc. acquired a machine for on January 1, 2019. The machine has a salvage value of $20,000 and a 5-year useful life. Cox expects the machine to run for 15,000 machine hours. The machine was actually used for 4,200 hours in 2019 and 3,450 hours in 2020.
IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, Dans Demolition purchased two jackhammers for 2,500 each with a salvage value of 100 each and estimated useful lives of four years. On January 1, 20-2, a stronger blade to improve performance was installed in Jackhammer A for 800 cash and the compressor was replaced in Jackhammer B for 200 cash. The compressor is expected to extend the life of Jackhammer B one year beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Jackhammers A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each jackhammer for 20-2 through 20-4.
Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $15,000. The truck has a salvage value of $3,000 and is expected to be driven for 120,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method and in year one it expects to use the truck for 23,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.
A machine costing 350,000 has a salvage value of 15,000 and an estimated life of three years. Prepare depreciation schedules reporting the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the machine for each year under the double-declining-balance and sum-of-the-years-digits methods. For the double-declining-balance method, round the depreciation rate to two decimal places.
Colquhoun International purchases a warehouse for $300,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $15,000, and it is expected to be used for twenty-five years. Colquhoun uses the straight-line depreciation method for all warehouse buildings. After four years of recording depreciation, Colquhoun determines that the warehouse will be useful for only another fifteen years. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first four years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year five.
Akron Incorporated purchased an asset at the beginning of Year 1 for 375,000. The estimated residual value is 15,000. Akron estimates that the asset has a service life of 5 years. Calculate the depreciation expense using the sum-of-the-years-digits method for Years 1 and 2 of the assets life.
Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. Dunedin buys equipment frequently and wants to print a depreciation schedule for each assets life. Review the worksheet called DEPREC that follows these requirements. Since some assets acquired are depreciated by straight-line, others by units of production, and others by double-declining balance, DEPREC shows all three methods. You are to use this worksheet to prepare depreciation schedules for the new machine.
Choice Among Depreciation Methods Walnut Ridge Production Inc. purchased a new computerized video editing machine at a cost of $450,000. The System has a residual value of $64,000 and an expected life of 5 years. Required: 1. Compute depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for the first 3 years of the machines life using the (a) straight-line method and (b) double-declining-balance method. 2. Which method would produce the largest income in the first, second, and third years of the assets life? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why might the controller of Walnut Ridge Production be interested in the effect of choosing a depreciation method? Evaluate the legitimacy of these interests.
