Straight-line Units-of-output Working hours Sum-of-the-years'-digits Declining-balance (use 20% as the annual rate)

Explanation / Answer

Part d: Sum of the years digits deprecation method

Sum of years = 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 55

Depreciation in year 2015:

For 4 months (Jan 2015 - April 2015) = (10/55) * (315,000-15,000) *4/12 =$18,180

For 8 months (May 2015 - Dec 2015) = (9/55) * (315,000-15,000) *8/12 =$32,727

Total Depreciation = $18,180 + $32,727 = $50,909
