Question
Ivy Industrial Packing Co purchased a packing machine for $950,000 at the beginning of 2009. The robot has an estimated useful life of four years and an estimated residual value of $70,000. The packing machine, which should last 20,000 hours, was operated 6,000 in 2009; 8,000 hours in 2010; 4,000 hours in 2011; and 2,000 hours in 2012.Required:
1. Compute the annual depreciation and carrying value (book value) for the robot for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 assuming the following depreciation methods:
a. Straight-line
b. Units of production
c. Double-declining balance
2. If the packing machine is sold for $400,000 on 12/31/2010, what would be the amount of the gain or loss under each depreciation method?
Explanation / Answer
Ivy Industrial Packing Co purchased a packing machine for $950,000 at the beginning of 2009. The robot has an estimated useful life of four years and an estimated residual value of $70,000. The packing machine, which should last 20,000 hours, was operated 6,000 in 2009; 8,000 hours in 2010; 4,000 hours in 2011; and 2,000 hours in 2012.
Required:
1. Compute the annual depreciation and carrying value (book value) for the robot for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 assuming the following depreciation methods:
a. Straight-line
Straight line depreciation = (cost - residual value)/useful life = (950,000 – 70,000)/4 = 220,000

b. Units of production
The packing machine, which should last 20,000 hours, was operated 6,000 in 2009; 8,000 hours in 2010; 4,000 hours in 2011; and 2,000 hours in 2012.
depreciation per hour used = (cost – residual value)/total hours of production = (950,000-70,000)/20,000 = $44 per hour.
For 2009: 6,000 hours* $44 = 264,000
For 2010: 8,000 hours* 44 = 352,000
For 2011: 4,000 hours* 44 = 176,000
For 2012: 2,000 hours*44 = 88,000

c. Double-declining balance
Straight line rate is 100%/4 = 25%. Double declining balance is twice the straight line rate, 25%*2 = 50%. Residual value is not taken into consideration of the calculation, but you do not depreciation below the residual value.
2009: 950,000*0.50 = 475,000
2010: 475,00*0.50 = 237,500
2011: 237,500*0.50 = 118,750
2012: 118,750*0.50 = 59,375, but since book value cannot go below 70,000, the depreciation is 118,750 – 70,000 = 48750

2. If the packing machine is sold for $400,000 on 12/31/2010, what would be the amount of the gain or loss under each depreciation method?
Straight line: 400,000 – 510,000 = 110,000 Loss
Units of Production: 400,000 - 334,000 = 66,000 gain
Double declining balance: 400,000 – 237,500 = 162,500 gain
