Determine the amount of depreciation expense that Thaxton should expect to recognize under each of the following depreciation methods in the first and second years of the truck's useful life. A full year's depreciation will be recognized in the first year the truck is used. 1. Straight-line. 2. Double-declining-balance. 3. Units-of-output (based on miles).

Sunland Company purchased a truck for $46,000. The company expected the truck to have a useful life of four years or 95,000 kilometres, with an estimated residual value of $8,000 at the end of that time. During the first and second years, the truck was driven 21,000 and 27,500 kilometres, respectively. Calculate the depreciation expense for the second year under the straight-line, units-of-production, and double-diminishing-balance methods. Assume the purchase of the truck was made at the beginning of the first month of the first year. (Round depreciation per kilometre to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25 and final answers to O decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

NewTech purchases computer equipment for $267,000 to use in operating activities for the next four years. It estimates the equipment’s salvage value at $25,000. Prepare a table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.
A company is considering the purchase of a capital asset for $135,000. Installation charges needed to make the asset serviceable will total $25,000. The asset will be depreciated over six years using the straight-line method and an estimated salvage value (SV6) of $10,000. The asset will be kept in service for six years, after which it will be sold for $ 30,000. During its useful life, it is estimated that the asset will produce annual revenues of $40,000. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to be $8,000 in the first year. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $ 1,200 per year each year thereafter. The after-tax MARR is 12% and the effective tax rate is 40 % .C) The before - tax present worth of this asset is -$60,000. By how much would the annual revenues have to increase to make the purchase of this asset justifiable on a before - tax basis?
Goodson Healthcare purchased a new sonogram imaging unit for $300,000 and a truck body andchassis for an additional $100,000 to make the unit mobile. The unit-truck system will be depreciatedas one asset. The functional life is 8 years, and the salvage is estimated to be 9% of the purchaseprice of the imaging unit regardless of the number of years of service. Use classical Straight Linedepreciation to determine the salvage value, annual depreciation, and book value after 5 years ofservice.
Anne Company has an equipment costing P700,000 with an estimated residual value of P70,000 and an estimated useful life of six years. After using and depreciating the asset for the past two years, the company upgraded the machine parts and the cost of upgrading amounted to P120,000. Assuming that the upgrading costs extended the asset’s economic useful life by an additional two years, what is the revised depreciation expense for the third year using the (1) straight-line method and (2) sum-of-the-years’ digits method? a.
