Question
A tractor for over-the-road hauling is purchased for $85,000.00. It is expected to be of use to the company for 6 years, after which it will be salvaged for $4,400.00. Calculate the depreciation deduction and the unrecovered investment during each year of the tractors life.
a. Use straight-line depreciation. Provide depreciation and book value for year 6.
Depreciation for year 6 = $
book value for year 6 = $
b. Use declining-balance depreciation, with a rate that ensures the book value equals the salvage value. Provide depreciation and book value for year 6.
Depreciation for year 6 = $
book value for year 6 = $
c. Use double declining balance depreciation. Provide depreciation and book value for year 6.
Depreciation for year 6 = $
book value for year 6 = $
d. Use double declining balance, switching to straight-line depreciation. Provide depreciation and book value for year 6.
Depreciation for year 6 = $
book value for year 6 = $
Do all computations to 5 decimal places and round final answers to 2 decimal places. Tolerance is +/- 50
