The depreciation expense and amortization expense as on March 31
(2)
Explanation of Solution
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.
Amortization expense: The expense which reflects the usage of intangible asset by the way of reducing the cost of the asset over the estimated useful definite life, is referred to as amortization expense.
Formula for amortization expense:
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:
Determine the depreciation expense for the equipmentfor 3 months (from January2 to March 31) under double-declining-balancemethod, if cost of machine is $270,000, useful life is 5 years, and
Determine amortization expense for 1 month (from March 1 to March 31), if cost of licensing right is $3,600, and useful life is 2 years.

Table (11)
Description:
- Depreciation Expense is an expense account. Since expenses decrease equity, equity value is decreased, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Amortization Expense is an expense account. Since expenses decrease equity, equity value is decreased, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Accumulated Depreciation–Equipment is a contra-asset account, and contra-asset accounts would have a normal credit balance, hence, the account is credited.
- Accumulated Amortization is a contra-asset account, and contra-asset accounts would have a normal credit balance, hence, the account is credited.
