Question

1. A machine has a first cost of $15,000. At the end of 4 years, it can be salvaged for $3,500. What is the depreciation schedule for Year 1 (

that is

what depreciation can you claim) using Straight Line (SL) to the nearest dollar?


2.A machine has a first cost of $15,000. At the end of 4 years, it can be salvaged for $3,500. What is the depreciation schedule for Year 1 (that is

what depreciation can you claim) using Sum-Of-The-Years digits (SOYD)?

5.A machine has an expected life of 5 years with no salvage value. Engineer Ernie has computed 5 depreciation schedules as follows:

Year    A    B      C           D           E

1         45   35   21.75   58.00   43.50

2         36   20   36.98   34.80   30.45

3        27   30   25.88   20.88   21.32

4         18   30   18.12   12.53   14.92

5          9   20   12.68     7.52   10.44

6                         8.36

What is the initial cost of the machine, B? Be careful. Schedules A and B will tell you (B-S) only. Schedule C will give the right answer for B.

Explanation / Answer

1.Using the formula , (SL method)

Depreciation per annum = ( Cost - Residual value ) / Useful Life

(15000-3500) /4 = $2875

2. Using SOYD ,

Depreciation = 15000- 3500 = 11500
Sum of years = 4+3+2+1 = 10

Therefore for year1, (4/10) *11500 = $4600

3. Using DDB ,
rate % = 3500/15000 *100 = 23.33
Double rate = 46.66

Therefore , 46.66% off 15000 = 7000
Depreciationfor first year = 7000

4. CCA rate = 30%

Therefore amt to claim at the end of first year = 1/2*30% off 15000
15% off 15000
= 2250
