To test your formulas, assume the machine purchased had an estimated useful life of three years (20,000, 30,000, and 50,000 hours, respectively). Enter the new information in the Data Section of the worksheet. Does your
There are three common errors made by students completing this worksheet. Letʼs clear up two of them. One, an asset that has a three-year life should have no depreciation claimed in Year 4. This can be corrected using an =IF statement in Year 4. For example, the correct formula in cell C32 is =IF(B32>D9,0,(D7–D8)/D9) or =IF(B32>D9, 0, SLN(D7, D8, D9)). You may wish to edit what you have already entered rather than retype it.
Two, as mentioned in requirement 2, the double-declining-balance calculation needs to be modified in the last year of the assetʼs life. Assuming you have already modified the formula for Year 4 (per instructions in step 2), alter the formula for Year 3 also.
If you corrected any formulas, test their correctness by trying different estimated useful lives (between 3 and 8) in cell E9. Then reset the Data Section to the original values, save the revised file as DEPREC2, and reprint the worksheet to show the correct formulas.
The third common error doesnʼt need to be corrected in this problem. The general form of the double-declining-balance formula needs to be modified to check the net book value of the asset each year to make sure it does not go below salvage value. =DDB does this automatically, but if you are writing your own formulas, this gets very complicated and is beyond the scope of the problem.

- You have just bought a new pusher dozer for your equipment fleet. Its cost is $100,000. It has salvage value of $12,000 at the end of its service life. a) Calculate the depreciation using the straight-line method. Show the table with the book value and the depreciation for each year. b) Calculate the depreciation using the DDB method. Show the table with the book value and the depreciation for each year. c) The new pusher dozers $35,000/year for your company during its service life. Determine the tax amount owed at the end of each year if your marginal tax rate is 25% for the income made using this new equipment. Perform this tax calculation separately, once using straight-line depreciation and then using DDB depreciation. d) Based on your calculations for part (c), which depreciation method would you use to file the taxes.arrow_forwardYou purchased a molding machine at a cost of $88,000.

- Assume that Brown's Salvage Company paid $30,000 for equipment with a 10-year life and zero expected residual value. After using the equipment for four years, the company determines that the asset will remain useful for only three more years. Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Record depreciation expense on the equipment for year 5 by the straight-line method. First, select the formula to calculate the company's revised depreciation expense on the equipment for year 5. Then enter the amounts and calculate the depreciation for year 5. (Enter "0" for items with a zero value.) Date Record the depreciation on the equipment for year 5.
