Coronado Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2022. Assume that no entries for depreciation have been recorded in 2022. The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you. Coronado purchased equipment on January 2, 2019, for $86,300. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a $5,300 residual value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2022, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a $2,800 1. residual value. 2. During 2022, Coronado changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $300,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $30,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2020 and 2021. 2021 2020 Straight-line $27,000 $27,000 Declining-balance 48,000 60,000 Coronado purchased a machine on July 1, 2020, at a cost of $120,000. The machine has a residual value of $20,000 and a useful life of 8 years. Coronado's bookkeeper recorded straight-line depreciation in 2020 and 2021 but failed to consider the 3. residual value.
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.
