QK company makes it a policy that for any new piece of apparatus, the annual depreciation cost should not exceed 10% of the First Cost while the Salvage Value is 20% of the First Cost. Determine the minimum length of service life in years ( n ), necessary, if the depreciation method used is: Straight line method (SLM) , Declining Balance Method (DMB) and Double Declining Method (DDBM).

A construction company is considering changing its depreciation from the MACRS method to the historical SL method for a general purpose hauling truck. The cost basis of the truck is $100,000, and the expected salvage value for depreciation purposes is $8,000. The company will use the truck for eight years and will depreciate it over this period of time with the SL method.What is the difference in the amount of depreciation that would be claimed in year five (i.e., MACRS versus SL)?

Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Novak should record for Machine B each year of its useful life under the following assumptions. (Round depreciation cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25. Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.) (1) Novak uses the straight-line method of depreciation. (2) Novak uses the declining-balance method. The rate used is twice the straight-line rate. (3) Novak uses the units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of the machine is 155,000 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2022, 52,500 units; 2023, 42,500 units; 2024, 32,500 units; and 2025, 27,500 units.
