Show Attempt History Current Attempt in Progress Wildhorse Co. purchased equipment on March 31, 2021, at a cost of $264,000. Management is considering the merits of using the diminishing-balance or units-of-production method of depreciation instead of the straight-line method, which it currently uses for other equipment. The new equipment has an estimated residual value of $8,000 and an estimated useful life of either four years or 80,000 units. Demand for the products produced by the equipment is sporadic so the equipment will be used more in some years than in others. Assume the equipment produces the following number of units each year: 14,600 units in 2021; 20,600 units in 2022; 19,800 units in 2023; 20,000 units in 2024; and 5,000 units in 2025. Wildhorse has a December 31 year end. 6 (a) - Your answer is partially correct.

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System An example of a depreciation schedule under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System of depreciation is shown. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) classifies various assets according to useful life and sets depreciation rates for each year of the asset’s life. This asset has a five year life. The MACRS rates are shown in the schedule. This example is for an asset with a cost of $40,000 and a salvage value of $4,000.

Measuring asset cost, units-of-production depreciation, and asset trade Wimot Trucking Corporation uses the units-of-production depreciation method because units-of-production best measures wear and tear on the trucks. Consider these facts about one Mack truck in the company’s fleet. When acquired in 2015, the rig cost $360,000 and was expected to remain in service for 10 years or 1,000,000 miles. The estimated residual value was $90,000. The truck was driven 80,000 miles in 2015,120,000 miles in 2016, and 160,000 miles in 2017. After 44,000 miles, on March 15, 2018, the company traded in the Mack truck for a less expensive Freightliner. Wimot also paid cash of $20,000. The fair market value of the Mack truck was equal to its net book value on the date of the trade. Requirements Record the journal entry for depreciation expense in 2018. Determine Wimot’s cost of the new truck. Record the journal entry for the exchange of assets on March 15, 2018. Assume the exchange had commercial…
