Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Depreciation Charge :-

Calculations :-

1) Depreciation = ($222720 - $19488) / 12 = $16936

2012 = ($16936*133) / 365 = $6171

2019 = ($16936*68) / 365 = $3155

2013 - 2018 = $16936 * 6 = $101616

2) Depreciation :-

2012 = $0 (as equipment was purchased on 20 aug 2012 , same was not included in the balance as of 1 jan. 2012)
