a)

Explanation of Solution
1. 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 a complete depreciation table under Straight line:
Year |
Computation | Depreciation Expense |
Book Value | |
1 | $17,000 | $17,000 | $163,000 | |
2 | 34,000 | 51,000 | 129,000 | |
3 | 34,000 | 85,000 | 95,000 | |
4 | 34,000 | 119,000 | 61,000 | |
5 | 34,000 | 153,000 | 27,000 | |
6 | 17,000 | 170,000 | 10,000 |
Table (1)
Calculate the depreciable cost of the equipment:
Cost of the equipment is $180,000 and the residual value of the equipment is $10,000.
Therefore, the depreciable cost of the equipment is $170,000

2. 200 percent declining balance method (Accelerated method): In this method of depreciation, the diminishing value of the asset is taken into consideration for determining the depreciation for the succeeding years.

3. 150 percent declining balance method (Accelerated method): In this method of depreciation, the diminishing value of the asset is taken into consideration for determining the depreciation for the succeeding years.
Depreciation rate for 150 percent declining balance method:
Prepare a complete depreciation table under 150 percent declining balance method:
Year |
Computation | Depreciation Expense |
Accumulated Depreciation |
Book Value |
1 | $180,000 | $27,000 | $27,000 | $153,000 |
2 | 153,000 | 45,900 | 72,900 | 107,100 |
3 | 107,100 | 32,130 | 105,030 | 74,970 |
4 | 74,970 | 22,491 | 127,521 | 52,479 |
5 | 52,479 | 15,744 | 143,265 | 36,735 |
6 | 36,735 – 10,000 | 26,735 | 170,000 | 10,000 |

c)
Compute the resulting gain or loss from the sale of machine under each of the depreciation methods used in requirement (a). Explain that the gain or loss reported in the company’s income statement have any direct cash effect.
c)

Explanation of Solution
Disposal of Assets: Disposal is an activity of selling the worn-out assets that is no longer in need for the business, in return of some consideration.
Under the straight line method:
Cash proceeds | $58,000 |
Book value at the end of the fourth year | (61,000) |
Loss on disposal | $(3,000) |
Table (4)
Under the 200 percent declining balance method:
Cash proceeds | $58,000 |
Book value at the end of the fourth year | (31,104) |
Gain on disposal | $26,896 |
Table (5)
Under the 150 percent declining balance method:
Cash proceeds | $58,000 |
Book value at the end of the fourth year | (52,479) |
Loss on disposal | $(5,521) |
Table (6)
In the income statement, there is no direct cash effect due to the gain or loss of sale of the machine. But, the sale proceed of the machine ($58,000) is having direct cash effect on the income statement.

- Sanjay would like to organize HOS (a business entity) as either an S corporation or as a corporation (taxed as a C corporation) generating a 16 percent annual before-tax return on a $350,000 investment. Sanjay’s marginal tax rate is 24 percent and the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Sanjay’s marginal tax rate on individual capital gains and dividends is 15 percent. HOS will pay out its after-tax earnings every year to either its members or its shareholders. If HOS is taxed as an S corporation, the business income allocation would qualify for the deduction for qualified business income (assume no limitations on the deduction). Assume Sanjay does not owe any additional Medicare tax or net investment income tax. Required 1.
