Question

The following information is available on a depreciable asset owned by Mutual Savings Bank:

The asset's book value is $76,900 on June 1, Year 3. On that date, management determines that the asset's salvage value should be $6,800 rather than the original estimate of $11,800. Based on this information, the amount of depreciation expense the company should recognize during the last six months of Year 3 would be:

$5,007.14

$2,436.61

$2,746.43

$2,082.14

$2,503.57

The following information is available on a depreciable asset owned by Mutual Savings Bank:

Explanation / Answer

Remaining life = 7 years

Value of asset = 76900

Salvage value = 6800

Annual depreciation = (Value of asset – salvage value)/ Remaining life

                                         = (76,900 – 6800)/ 7

                                         = 10014.29

Depreciation for 6 months = Annual depreciation /2

                                                      = 10,014.29 /2

                                                      = 5,007.14
