BA In recent years, Jayme Company has purchased three machines. Because of frequent rmation concerning the machines is summarized in the table below Machine Acquired Cost Value (in years) Depreciation Method urnover in the accounting department, a different accountant was in charge of selecting the depreciation method for each machine, and various methods have been used. Salvage Useful Life Jan. 1, 2015 $96,000 $12,000 2 July 1, 2016 85,000 10,000 Nov 1, 2016 66,000 6,000 Straight-line Declining-balance Units-of-activity the declining-balance units-of method, Jayme Company uses the double-declining rate. For total machine hours are expected to be 30,000. Actual hours method, in the first 3 years were 2016, 800; 2017, 4,500; and 2018, 6,000. eciation on each machine at December 31, 2018 of July 1, what would be the deprecia- the

Explanation / Answer

Machine 1

Date of acquisition =Jan 1, 2015

Cost of the machine = 96,000

Salvage value= 12,000

Useful life= 8 years

Depreciation method = Straight-line

Straight-line method = (96,000 – 12,000)/8 = 10,500

Accumulated depreciation by December 31, 2018 = 10,500 x 4 = 42,000

The amount of 10,500 depreciation being charged on each year under straight-line method, because the amount of depreciation remains same in each year.

Machine 2

Date of acquisition =Jul 1, 2016

Cost of the machine = 85,000

Salvage value= 10,000

Useful life= 5 years

Depreciation method = Double declining

Depreciation under straight line method is = 1/5 = 20%

So, double declining balance rate = 40%

Cost of the machine=85,000

Depreciation for 2016 for 6 months= (85,000 x 40% x 6/12)=17,000

Book value at the end of 2016= 68,000

Depreciation for 2017= (68,000 x 40%)= 27,200

Book value at the end of 2017= 40,800

Depreciation for 2018= (40,800 x 40%)= 16,320

Book value at the end of 2018= 24,480

Accumulated depreciation on machine at December 31, 2018 = 17,000+27,200+16320

= 60,520

Machine 3

Date of acquisition =Nov 1, 2016

Cost of the machine = 66,000

Salvage value= 6,000

Useful life= 6 years

Depreciation method = Units of activity

Depreciation per unit = (66,000 – 6,000)/ 30,000hrs = 2 per unit

Depreciation for 2016 = 800 x 2 = 1,600

Depreciation for 2017 = 4,500 x 2 = 9,000

Depreciation for 2018 = 6,000 x 2 = 12,000

Accumulated depreciation at the end of Dec 31, 2018 = 1,600+9,000+12,000 = 22,600

Cost of the machine =85,000

Depreciation for 2016 for 9 months= (85,000 x 40% x 9/12)= 25,500

Book value at the end of 2016= 59,500

Depreciation for 2017= (59,500 x 40%)= 23,800

Book value at the end of 2017= 35,700

Depreciation expense for2016 : 25,500

2017: 23,800
