Question

Waterway Company purchased Machine #201 on May 1, 2017. The following information relating to Machine #201 was gathered at the end of May.
Price $86,700 Credit terms 2/10, n/30 Freight-in $ 816 Preparation and installation costs $ 3,876 Labor costs during regular production operations $10,710
It is expected that the machine could be used for 10 years, after which the salvage value would be zero. Waterway intends to use the machine for only 8 years, however, after which it expects to be able to sell it for $1,530. The invoice for Machine #201 was paid May 5, 2017. Waterway uses the calendar year as the basis for the preparation of financial statements.

Explanation / Answer

(1) Depreciation under straight line method for 2017

Total cost = $86700

Add Fright and installation (816+3876) = 4692

Less: Credit terms = 1734

Depreciable Value 89658

Life 8

Annual depreciation = (89658/8) = 11207

Partial depreciation = 11207*(8/12) = 7471 (8 of 12 months)

(2) Depreciation expenses using sum of the year digits method for 2018

86700 * (8/36) = 19267

86700 * (7/36) = 16858

86700 * (6/36) = 14450

(3) Depreciation using double declining method for 2017

  double declining depreciation rate = (100%/8)*2 = 25%

86700*25% = 21675 depreciation 1 year

(86700-21675)*25% = 16256   depreciation 2 year

  (86700- 16256)*25% = 17611   depreciation 3 year
