### Example Depreciation Problem for Educational Purposes**Scenario:**Your company has purchased a large new truck tractor for over-the-road use (asset class 00.26). It has a cost basis of $173,000. With additional options costing $14,000, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $187,000. Its market value (MV) at the end of four years is estimated as $42,000. Assume it will be depreciated under the General Depreciation System (GDS).**Questions:**a. What is the cumulative depreciation through the end of year two?b. What is the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation in the third year?c. What is the book value (BV) at the end of year one?---**Instructions for Students:**1. **Understand the Depreciation Process:** Familiarize yourself with the GDS and MACRS methods, focusing on how assets are depreciated over their useful life.2. **Calculate Cumulative Depreciation:** For question a, use the appropriate depreciation rates to find the total depreciation up to year two.3. **Determine Yearly Depreciation:** For question b, focus on calculating the specific depreciation for the third year under the MACRS method.4. **Calculate Book Value:** For question c, find the asset's remaining value after accounting for one year of depreciation.**Note to Instructors:** Encourage students to show all work and calculations, ensuring they understand each step of applying depreciation methods in real-world scenarios.

The Masters Corporation purchased a piece of machinery for $300,000. The expected useful life (EUL) of the machine is 10 years. Machinery of this type normally has a salvage value of approximately 17 percent of the purchase price (use $50,000 for salvage value in this case.) Using the accounting/finance functions in Excel, complete the depreciation worksheet in Exercise11.xls in the following steps: 1. Use the following three methods to compute the depreciation in columns B, C, and D: (1) double- declining balance, (2) straight-line, and (3) sum-of-the-years’ digits. Columns F, G, and H should show the book value of each method for the 10 periods (10 years). Formulas should be used in the empty cells so that a change in the cost, salvage value, or expected useful life of the machinery automatically updates the worksheet. 2.
