- On January 1, 2016, the Allegheny Corporation purchased machinery for $115,000. The estimated service life of the machinery is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The machine is expected to produce 220,000 units during its life. Required: Calculate depreciation for 2016 and 2017 using each of the following methods. Round all computations to the nearest dollar. 1. Straight line. 2. Sum-of-the-years’-digits. 3. Double-declining balance. 4. One hundred fifty percent declining balance. 5. Units of production (units produced in 2016, 30,000; units produced in 2017, 25,000).arrow_forwardA company report stated that a $140,000 asset purchased 3 years ago has a current MACRS book value that is 57.6% of the asset’s basis.

- Navigation Inc. acquired an equipment on January 1, 2014 at a cost of $2,200,000 including an estimated residual value of $200,000 and twenty (20) years estimated useful life. The replacement cost of the equipment is $2,400,000 on December 30, 2017. The depreciated replacement cost declined to $1,470,000 after two years. If there is a need to gross up, round off percentage to whole number and to nearest dollar. Questions: 1. What is the carrying amount of the equipment on December 31, 2020?2.
