Explanation / Answer

Q. 2)

Year 2017

500000 - 350000 = 150000

Net adjustment = 150000 - (150000 / 10)

   = 150000 - 15000

   = $ 135000

Year 2018

Depreciation = 150000 / 10

= 15000

Conclusion:- Answer d) 2017, ($ 135,000); 2018, $15,000

Q. 1. Answer:- d) debit to Accumulated Depreciation for $4,000.

Depreciation on equipment from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2016 = $ 330000

Written down value as on 1 January 2017 = 990000 - 330000 = $ 660000
