Explanation of Solution

Straight-line method:

The depreciation method which assumes that the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset could be distributed equally throughout the useful life of the asset is referred to as straight-line method.

Formula for straight-line depreciation method:

Depreciation expense}= Depreciable cost ×Depreciation rate= (Cost–Residual value )×1Useful life

Depreciation expense:

Depreciation expense is a non-cash expense, which is recorded on the income statement reflecting the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset.

Accumulated depreciation:

The total amount of depreciation expense deducted, from the time asset acquired till date, as reported in the account as on a particular date, is referred to as accumulated depreciation.

Formula for accumulated depreciation:

Accumulated depreciation = {Depreciation expense in the previous years+Depreciation in current year}

Book value:

The amount of acquisition cost of less accumulated depreciation as on a particular date is referred to as book value.

Formula for book value:

Book value = {Acquisition cost–Accumulated depreciation}

Record the purchase of the equipment, freight, preparation costs, and insurance on January 1 of Year 1.

Explanation of Solution

Journal entry:

Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.

Accounting rules for Journal entries:

To record increase balance of account: Debit assets, expenses, losses and credit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
To record decrease balance of account: Credit assets, expenses, losses and debit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.

Record the purchase of the equipment, freight, preparation costs, and insurance on January 1 of Year 1.

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Debit($)	Credit($)
January 1, Year 1	Equipment	75,300
	Prepaid insurance	800
	Cash		76,100
	(To record the purchase of the equipment, freight, preparation costs, and insurance )

Table (1)

Working Note:

Calculate the purchase price of the Equipment.

Purchase price of Equipment=[Invoice price + Freight costs+Preparation costs]=$72,000+$2,000+$1,300=$75,300

Note: The purchase price of the insurance is not included in the purchase price of the equipment as it is not the part of the acquisition cost of the asset. Because it is not the amount paid to purchase the asset, install it, and put it into operations.

Purchase of the equipment, freight, preparation costs, and insurance:

Equipment is an asset and it is increased. Hence, debit the Equipment account.
Prepaid Insurance is an asset account, and it is increased. Therefore, debit Prepaid Insurance account.
Cash is an asset and it is decreased. Therefore, credit Cash account.

Expert Solution

To determine

Create depreciation expense schedule under straight-line method.

Explanation of Solution

Straight-line method:

The depreciation method which assumes that the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset could be distributed equally throughout the useful life of the asset is referred to as straight-line method.

Formula for straight-line depreciation method:

Depreciation expense}= Depreciable cost ×Depreciation rate= (Cost–Residual value )×1Useful life

Depreciation expense:

Depreciation expense is a non-cash expense, which is recorded on the income statement reflecting the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset.

Accumulated depreciation:

The total amount of depreciation expense deducted, from the time asset acquired till date, as reported in the account as on a particular date, is referred to as accumulated depreciation.

Formula for accumulated depreciation:

Accumulated depreciation = {Depreciation expense in the previous years+Depreciation in current year}

Book value:

The amount of acquisition cost of less accumulated depreciation as on a particular date is referred to as book value.

Formula for book value:

Book value = {Acquisition cost–Accumulated depreciation}

Depreciation schedule under straight-line method:

Year	Computation	Depreciation Expense	Accumulated Depreciation	Net Book Value
