Rottino Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, at a cost of $132,000. The company estimated that the machine will have a salvage value of $10,100. The machine is expected to be used for 10,500 working hours during its 4-year life.

Explanation / Answer

Straight Line Method

Depreciation per year = (Cost – Salvage Value) / Useful life

= (132,000 – 10,100) / 4

Depreciation per year = $30,475

As Asset is purchased on 1st Oct and year closes on 31st Dec. so its 3 month depreciation.

2017 = 30,475 * 3/12 months

2017 = $7,618.75

Units of Activity Method

Total Working hours = 10,500 Hours

Depreciable value = Cost – Salvage value

= 132,000-10,100

Depreciable value = 121,900

Depreciation = (Produced in that year/total production) * Depreciable value

2017 = (1610/10,500) hours * 121,900

2017 = $18,691.33

Declining Balance Method

Depreciation rate = 2* Straight line rate

= 2*25%

Depreciation rate = 50%

Depreciation = Rate * Book Value

2017 = 132,000 * 50% * 3/12 months

2017 = 16,500

2018 = (132,000-16,500) * 50%

2018 = $57,750
