Question

Swanson & Hiller, Inc., purchased a new machine on September 1, 2012 at a cost of $129,000. The machine’s estimated useful life at the time of the purchase was five years, and its residual value was $9,000.

Prepare a complete depreciation schedule, beginning with calendar year 2012, using the straight-line method. (Assume that the half-year convention is used).

Prepare a complete depreciation schedule, beginning with calendar year 2012, using the 200 percent declining-balance method. (Assume that the half-year convention is used). (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

Prepare a complete depreciation schedule, beginning with calendar year 2012, using the 150 percent declining-balance, switching to straight-line when that maximizes the expense. (Assume that the half-year convention is used). (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

Assume that Swanson & Hiller sells the machine on December 31, 2015, for $30,000 cash. Compute the resulting gain or loss from this sale under each of the depreciation methods used in part a. (Use rounded book values for calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

        

Instructions

Explanation / Answer

a) straight line method

a) 2 depreciation rate = 40%

a) 3 Deprection rate = 30%

$26,327

b) straight Line method

c) gain and loss under straight line method

Book value as on December 31, 2015 = $ 45000

Sale Price = $ 30000

Loss on sale = $ 15000

gain and loss under 200% declining balance method

book value as on december 31, 2015 = $22291

Sale Price = $ 30000

gain on Sale = $ 7709

gain and loss under 150% declining balance method

book value as on december 31, 2015 = $37610

Sale Price = $ 30000

Loss on sale = $ 7610
