Tesla purchased an auto-piloting system for $10,000,000 on January 1, 2016. It expects to use the system for 5 years, estimates a salvage value of $500,000, and uses the straight-line depreciation method. At the end of 2016 (ater the system has been in use for 1 years), a state-of-art new auto-piloting system becomes available. With the arrival of the new auto- piloting system, Tesla plans to use its existing auto-piloting system only through the end of 2018 and the salvage value declines to $100,000 at the end of 2018. How much is the depreciation expense on the existing auto-piloting system for the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018?

On January 1, 2017, Alissa Company purchased a truck for $450,000, and planned to use the truck for 150,000 miles and then sell the truck for $90,000. The company drove the truck for 30,000 miles in 2017 and 40,000 miles in 2018. On January 1, 2019, the company did a major overhaul of the truck for $75,000 and revised the total useful life of the truck to be 250,000 miles and the salvage value to be $60,000. Assuming the company uses the units of output method and that it used the truck for 35,000 miles in 2019, determine the depreciation expense for the truck for 2019. A. $43,167 B. $47,250 C. $57,750 D. $40,250
The Everly Equipment Company’s flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $55,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought and its remaining depreciation is $5,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency, digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $120,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $30,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high- efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $35,000. The firm’s tax rate is 35%, and the appropriate cost of…

In 1998, Novak Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,500,000 and first occupied it in January 1999. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $76,000 at the end of that time. Early in 2009, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $625,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $25,000. In 2027, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2058, or 20 years beyond the original estimate. (a) Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1999 through 2008. Annual depreciation from 1999 through 2008 $ GA /yr.

Ten years ago J-Bar Company purchased a lathe for $250,000. It was being depreciated on a straight-line basis to an estimated $25,000 salvage value (watch video for Lesson 7 Part 2 to see how to handle this when using straight-line depreciation) over a 15-year period. The firm is considering selling the old lathe and purchasing a new one. The new lathe would cost $500,000. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Determine the net initial investment required to purchase the new lathe if the old lathe is sold for $100,000.
In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,740,000. Additional costs of $676,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 400,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $116,000. To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $184,000. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $96,000 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $4,000 after the mining project is completed. In 2021, 60,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 400,000 to 451,000. During 2022, 96,000 tons were extracted. Required: 1.
