Discussion Question 8-6 (LO. 2) How is cost recovery computed for an asset, in the year it is placed in service, when the mid-quarter convention applies? Enter numerical values as a decimal to one decimal place, if required (i.e. 8.5). If more than % of the value of property, other than • is placed in service during - quarter of the year, the mid-quarter convention applies. Based on when the asset is placed in service, the first quarter is allowed months of cost recovery; the second quarter is allowed months of cost recovery; the third quarter is allowed months of cost recovery; and, the fourth quarter is allowed months of cost recovery.

Exact Photo Service purchased a new color printer at the beginning of Year 1 for $39,000. The printer is expected to have a four-year useful life and a $3,900 salvage value. The expected print production is estimated at 1,500,000 pages. Actual print production for the four years was as follows: 551,300 483,700 384,700 389,600 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Total 1,809,300 The printer was sold at the end of Year 4 for $4,300. Required a. Compute the depreciation expense for each of the four years, using double-declining-balance depreciation. b. Compute the depreciation expense for each of the four years, using units-of-production depreciation. c.

Please give an example of each and describe how each would be accounted for. Part II (1) Please explain the Units-of-Output depreciation method and give an example of when it might be used.
