Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the answer as follows:

Part A:

Depreciation Year 1 = (3900 - 300)/4 = 900*9/12 = 675

Part B:

Depreciation % = (3900 - 300)/4 = 900/3600*100 = 25%*2 = 50%

Depreciation Year 1 = 3900*.50*9/12 = 1462.5

Part C:

Depreciation Year 2 = (3900 - 300)/4= 900

Part D:

Depreciation Year 2 = (3900 - 1462.5)*.50 = 1218.75

Part E:

Book Value at the End of Year 1 = 3900 - 675 = 3225

Gain/Loss on Sale = 3225 - 3225 = 0

Thanks.
