E11-17. Depreciation Methods. Ace Manufacturing, Inc. purchased a new piece of manufacturing equipment at a total acquisition cost of $3,000,000 on January 4 of the current year. The firm estimates that the equipment has a useful life of 10 years or 13,250,000 units of output and a residual value of $350,000 at the end of its useful life. The following schedule indicates the actual number of units output with the machine per year:
Year | Units of Output | Year | Units of Output |
1 | 1,600,000 | 6 | 1,300,000 |
2 | 1,600,000 | 7 | 1,200,000 |
3 | 1,500,000 | 8 | 1,200,000 |
4 | 1,500,000 | 9 | 1,100,000 |
5 | 1,300,000 | 10 | 1,100,000 |
Required
Prepare the depreciation schedules for the manufacturing equipment assuming that Ace used the following methods (each case is independent):
- a. Straight-line method.
- b. Units-of-output method.
- c. Double-declining balance method (Reduce the depreciation expense in the last year to the necessary amount to arrive at an ending book value equal to the scrap value.)
- d. Ace sells the manufacturing equipment at the end of Year 5 for $1,465,000. What is the gain or loss on sale under each of the depreciation methods in parts (a)–(c)?

- Akron Incorporated purchased an asset at the beginning of Year 1 for 375,000. The estimated residual value is 15,000. Akron estimates that the asset has a service life of 5 years. Calculate the depreciation expense using the sum-of-the-years-digits method for Years 1 and 2 of the assets life.arrow_forwardAssume the same information as in RE11-3, except that Albany Corporation purchased the asset on April 1, Year 1. Calculate the depreciation for Year 1 and Year 2 using the double-declining-balance method. Round to the nearest dollar.arrow_forwardThe following intangible assets were purchased by Goldstein Corporation: A. A patent with a remaining legal life of twelve years is bought, and Goldstein expects to be able to use it for seven years. B. A copyright with a remaining life of thirty years is purchased, and Goldstein expects to be able to use it for ten years. For each of these situations, determine the useful life over which Goldstein will amortize the intangible assets.arrow_forward
- Group and Composite Depreciation Chcadle Company purchased a fleet of 20 delivery trucks for 8,000 each on January 2, 2019. It decided to use composite depreciation on a straight-line basis and calculated the depreciation from the following schedule: Cheadle actually retired the trucks according to the following schedule (assume each truck was retired at the beginning of the year): Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries necessary to record the preceding events. 2. Assume that the company expected all the trucks to last 4 years and be retired for 1,600 each. Using group depreciation, prepare journal entries for all 6 years, assuming the company retired the trucks as shown by the latter schedule.arrow_forwardThe following intangible assets were purchased by Hanna Unlimited: A. A patent with a remaining legal life of twelve years is bought, and Hanna expects to be able to use it for six years. It is purchased at a cost of $48,000. B.

- On July 1, 2018, Mundo Corporation purchased factory equipment for 50,000. Residual value was estimated at 2,000. The equipment will be depreciated over 10 years using the double-declining balance method. Counting the year of acquisition as one-half year, Mundo should record 2019 depredation expense of: a. 7,680 b. 9,000 c. 9,600 d. 10,000arrow_forwardAlbany Corporation purchased equipment at the beginning of Year 1 for 75,000. The asset does not have a residual value and is estimated to be in service for 8 years. Calculate the depreciation expense for Years 1 and 2 using the double-declining-balance method.
