Chapter 8, Problem 8BE

To determine

Prepare income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows for year 1 and Year 2.

Explanation of Solution

Double-declining-balance method:

It is an accelerated method of depreciation under which the depreciation declines in each successive year until the value of asset becomes zero. Under this method, the book value (original cost less accumulated depreciation) of the long-term asset is decreased by a fixed rate. It is double the rate of the straight-line depreciation.

T-account:

T-account is the form of the ledger account, where the journal entries are posted to this account. It is referred to as the T-account, because the alignment of the components of the account resembles the capital letter ‘T’.

Income statement:

Income statement is the financial statement of a company which shows all the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the company over a period of time.

Balance sheet:

Balance is the financial statement that reports a company’s resources (assets) and claims of creditors (liabilities) and stockholders (stockholders’ equity) over those resources. The resources of the company are assets which include money contributed by stockholders and creditors. Hence, the main elements of the balance sheet are assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.

Statement of cash flows:

Statement of cash flows is one among the financial statement of a Company statement that shows aggregate data of all cash inflows and cash outflows that is received and paid by the company from its ongoing business operations.

T-accounts are prepared as follows:

Cash
Year 1                         120,000			110,000

Bal.	95,000
Year 2                          72,000

Working notes:

Calculate the Double-declining-balance rate:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Double-declining-balance}\\ \text{rate}\text{per}\text{year}\end{array})\text{=}\text{Straight}\text{line}\text{depreciation}\text{rate}\text{per year}\text{×}\text{2}\\ \text{=}\text{0}\text{.2}\text{×}\text{2}\\ \text{=}\text{0}\text{.4}\end{array}$ (1)

Note: Straight line depreciation rate = $\frac{1}{5\text{ years}}=0.2$ per year

Calculate the depreciation expense (double-declining-balance method) of equipment for year 1 and year 2:

Year	Book value at the beginning $\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{ Cost of purchase}-\\ \text{Accumulated depreciation}\end{array}\right)$	×	Double-declining-balance rate (1)	×	Annual depreciation expense
Year 1	($110,000-$0)	×	0.4	×	$44,000
Year 2	($110,000-$44,000)	×	0.4	×	$26,400
