Koffman's Warehouse purchased a forklift on January 1, 2017, for $6,000. The forklift is expected to last for five years and have a residual value of $600. Koffman's uses the double-declining-balance method for depreciation. Required: 1.  Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for each year of the forklift's life.

Koffman's Warehouse purchased a forklift on January 1, 2017, for $6,000. The forklift is expected to last for five years and have a residual value of $600. Koffman's uses the double-declining-balance method for depreciation.

Required:

1.  Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for each year of the forklift's life. If necessary, round any depreciation calculations to the nearest dollar.

The double-declining-balance (DDB) method calculates depreciation at double the straight-line rate per period on the book value, which is a declining amount. Assets cannot be depreciated below residual value. Straight-line rate (SLR) = 100%/asset useful life. Book value = asset acquisition cost (amount recorded in account) less the accumulated depreciation. Set up T account for accumulated depreciation.

2.  Identify and analyze the effect of the transaction for depreciation for 2017.

Record depreciation expense by increasing the expense and accumulated depreciation accounts.

How does this entry affect the accounting equation? If a financial statement item is not affected, select "No Entry" and leave the amount box blank. If the effect on a financial statement item is negative, i.e, a decrease, be sure to enter the answer with a minus sign. Remember: if a contra account is increased, it will have the effect of decreasing the corresponding financial statement item.

3.  Refer to Exhibit 8-2.

What factors may have influenced Koffman’s to use the double-declining-balance method?

Koffman's may believe that the double-declining-balance method best matches the decline in usefulness of the asset  with the revenues produced by the asset. Koffman’s may also choose this method because it allows more  depreciation to be taken in the early years of the asset life and thus delays  taxes until the later years.
