Question

1- Machinery was purchased on January 1 for $71,050.00. The machinery has an estimated life of seven years and an estimated salvage value of $9,000. Double-declining-balance depreciation for the second year would be (round calculations to the nearest dollar):

a. $15,500

b. $14,500

c. $14,000

d. $13,500

2- If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1 for $2,179 with an estimated life of 7 years and a salvage or residual value of $114, the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation is

a.

b.

c.

d.

Accumulated Depreciation 24.58     Depreciation Expense 24.58

Explanation / Answer

1.

Cost = 71,050

Estimated life = 7 years

Depreciation under double declining balance method = (cost - accumulated depreciation) / useful life * 2

Depreciation in the first year = (71,050 - 0) / 7 * 2 = 20,300

Depreciation in the second year = (71,050 - 20,300) / 7 * 2 = 14,500

The answer is B.

2.

Cost = 2,179

Estimated life = 7 years

Salvage value = 114

Depreciation under Straight line method = (cost - salvage value) / estimated life

= (2,179 - 114) / 7

= 295

Journal entry

The answer is B.

Depreciation expense 295 Accumulated deprecitaion 295
