Double-declining-balance method:
The depreciation method which assumes that the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset is high in the early years but gradually declines towards the end of its useful life is referred to as double-declining-balance method.
Formula for double-declining-balance depreciation method:
Depreciation schedule under double-declining-balance method:
Year | Computation | Depreciation Expense | Net Book Value | |
At Acquisition | $60,000 | |||
2014 | $40,000 | $40,000 | 20,000 | |
2015 | 5,000 | 45,000 | 15,000 | |
2016 | Fully depreciated | 0 | 45,000 | 15,000 |
Table (1)
Note: The net book value of the asset cannot be less than the residual value of such asset. Hence, calculate the depreciation expense as given in the working note below.

Units-of-production method:
The depreciation method which assumes that the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset is based on the production capacity or output is referred to as units-of-production method.
Formula for units-of-production depreciation method:
Depreciation schedule under units-of-production method:
Year | Computation | Depreciation Expense | Accumulated Depreciation | Net Book Value |
At Acquisition | $880,000 | |||
2014 | $72,000 | $72,000 | 828,000 | |
2015 | 82,800 | 154,800 | 745,200 | |

Straight-line Depreciation:
Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation cost of the asset using the residual value is shown as below:
Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the shelving units.
Date | Account title and explanation | Post ref. |
Debit (In $) |
Credit (In $) |
Cash | 700,000 | |||
Accumulated depreciation (Refer Requirement 1.b.) | 234,900 | |||
Gain on disposal (2) | 34,900 | |||
Factory equipment | 900,000 | |||
(To record the disposal of the factory equipment) |
Table (3)
Working Notes:
Calculate the gain (loss) on sale of the equipment.
Sale proceed | $700,000 | |
Cost of the equipment | $900,000 | |
Less: Accumulated depreciation | $234,900 | |
Less: Book value | $665,100 | |
Gain on sale of equipment …… (2) | $34,900 |
Table (4)
Record the sale of the shelving units:
- Cash is an asset. Sale of factory equipment increase the cash balance. Thus, cash account is debited.
- Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset. It decreases the asset value. Thus, accumulated depreciation account is debited.
- Gain on disposal is a component of the
retained earnings . It increases the retained earnings. Thus, gain on disposal account is credited. - Factory equipment is the asset. Sale of factory equipment decreases the value of the asset. Thus, factory equipment account is credited.

Explanation of Solution
Amortization expense:
The expense which reflects the usage of intangible asset by the way of reducing the cost of the asset for the estimated useful definite life is referred to as amortization expense.
Formula for amortization expense:
Asset impairment:
Asset impairment arises when the carrying value of the assets recorded on the
Accounting treatment:
The asset impairment is accounted for in the following way:
The purchase value of the asset will be written down to its fair value and it will be recorded as a loss at such value.
Compute amortization expense of patent.
Compute the net book value of the patent.
Particulars | Amount ($) | Amount ($) |
Original cost of the patent | 330,000 | |
Less: Accumulated depreciation | 66,000 | |
Net Book Value of the patent | $264,000 |
Table (5)
Compute the amount of impairment loss to be recorded on January 1, 2017.
Particulars | Amount ($) |
Book value of patent | 264,000 |
Less: Fair value of patent | 190,000 |
Impairment loss to be recorded on January 1, 2017 | $74,000 |
Table (6)
The book value of the copyright exceeds its estimated future cash inflows. Hence, the asset is impaired, and the company would report an impairment loss of $74,000 on the income statement regarding the patent on January 1, 2017.
Working Note:
Calculate the accumulated depreciation of the patent.
