Question
1. Restek Chromatography Products and Solutions company purchased new packaging equipment with an estimated useful life of 10 years. Cost of the equipment was $20,000 and the salvage value was estimated to be $3000 at the end of its useful like.
a) (10 pts) For their company financial records, they are using the double declining-balance depreciation method. What is the depreciation amount they would record in their company financial records for the 7th year of the asset’s life?
b) (5 pts) If the company was instead using the straight-line method of depreciation, what would be the depreciation amount they would record in their company financial records for the 7th year of the asset’s life?
Explanation / Answer
1. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE
COST = 20000
RESIDUAL VALUE = 3000
USEFUL LIFE = 10 YEARS
DEPRECIATION RATE = (1/USEFUL LIFE) * 200% = 1/10 * 200% = 20%
IN THE SEVENTH YEAR THE DEPRECIATION WILL BE 1049 AND ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION WILL BE 15806.
B) STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
DEPRECATION BASE = 20000 - 3000 = 17000
RATE = (BASE * 1 ) / USEFUL LIFE = 17000*1 / 10 = 17000 / 10 = 1700 YEARLY.
DEPRECIATION AT THE END OF SEVENTH YEAR = 1700.
ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION = 1700 * 7 = 11900
