Problem 10-28 Depreciation methods P1
On January 2, Manning Co. purchases and installs a new machine costing $324,000 with a five-year life and an estimated $30,000 salvage value. Management estimates the machine will produce 1, 4700, 00 units of product during its life. Actual product ion of units is as follows: 355,600 in 1st year, 320,400 in 2nd year, 317,000 in 3rd year, 343,600 in 4th year, 138,500 in 5th year. The tot al number of units produced by the end of year 5 exceeds the original estimate- this difference was not predicted. (The machine must not be

- Effect of depreciation on net income Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment, by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACKS) for tax purposes, lie asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half year's depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019.Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tim's consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?arrow_forwardRevision of depreciation Equipment with a cost of 180,000 has an estimated residual value of 14,400, has an estimated useful life of 16 years, and is depreciated by the straight-line method. (A) Determine the amount of the annual depreciation. (B) Determine the book value at the end of the tenth year of use. (C) Assuming that at the start of the eleventh year the remaining life is estimated to be eight years and the residual value is estimated to be 10,500, determine the depreciation expense for each of the remaining eight years.arrow_forward
