Question

SplashCo Space Company has purchased a launcher system for launching passenger rockets into the edge of space from Norman Wells, NT. The cost of the new system was $250,000 and it has a service life of 10 years. For the first six years, depreciation of the system was calculated using the declining balance method at a rate of 30%. During the last four years, the straight line method was used for accounting purposes to bring the book value to $0 at the end of its service life. Make a table in Excel with the book values at the end of each year. Include the table in your submission to d2. What was the book value of the system after 3, 5, 7, and 9 years?

I need help in figuring out the step by step procedure, performing the operations and calculations manually, using formulas. One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $110,000. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $20,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, after which it will have no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $10,000 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for $150,000 today.
