• LO11–2
[This is a variation of Exercise 11–2 modified to focus on depreciation for partial years.]
On October 1, 2018, the Allegheny Corporation purchased machinery for $115,000. The estimated service life of the machinery is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The machine is expected to produce 220,000 units during its life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for 2018 and 2019 using each of the following methods. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service. Round all computations to the nearest dollar.
1. Straight line
2. Sum-of-the-years’-digits
3. Double-declining balance
4. One hundred fifty percent declining balance
5. Units of production (units produced in 2018, 10,000; units produced in 2019, 25,000)
1.
Depreciation:
Depreciation refers to the reduction in the monetary value of a fixed asset due to its wear and tear or obsolescence. It is a method of distributing the cost of the fixed assets over its estimated useful life. The following is the formula to calculate the depreciation.
To Calculate: The depreciation amount for the year 2018, and 2019 using straight-line method.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate depreciation using Straight-Line Method:
Straight-line method:
Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2018.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019.
Working Note:
Calculate the depreciation expense.
Thus, the depreciation expense for the year 2018, and 2019 as per straight line method is $2,750, and $11,000 respectively.
2.
To Calculate: The depreciation amount for the year 2018, and 2019 using sum-of-the years’ digits method.
Explanation of Solution
Sum-of- the-years’ digits method:
Sum-of-the years’ digits method determines the depreciation expense by multiplying the depreciable base and declining fraction.
Calculate the depreciation expense using sum-of-years’ digits method.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2018.
Year | Depreciable Base(2) ($) |
Depreciation rate per year |
Number of months the asset is in service | Depreciation ($) |
|||
2018 | 110,000 | = | 5,000 |

Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019.
Year | Depreciable Base(2) ($) |
Depreciation rate per year |
Number of months the asset is in service | Depreciation ($) |

2019 | 110,000 | = | 15,000 | ||||
110,000 | = | 4,500 | |||||
Total | 19,500 |
Table (2)
Working notes:
1. Calculate the sum of the digits
2. Calculate the value of depreciable base
Thus, the depreciation expense as per sum-of-the-years’ digits method for the year 2018 and 2019 is $5,000, and $19,500 respectively.
3.
To Calculate: The depreciation amount for the year 2018, and 2019 using double-declining balance method.
Explanation of Solution
Double-declining-balance method:
It is an accelerated method of depreciation under which the depreciation declines in each successive year until the value of asset becomes zero. Under this method, the book value (original cost less accumulated depreciation) of the long-term asset is decreased by a fixed rate. It is double the rate of the straight-line depreciation.
Calculate the depreciation expense using Double-declining-balance method.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2018.
Working Note:
Determine the depreciation rate applied each year.
Useful life = 10 years
Note: Use 100% to represent depreciation in percentage. Multiply the depreciation rate by 2 as it is a double-declining method.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019.
Thus, the depreciation expense as per double declining balance method for the year 2018 and 2019 is $5,750, and $21,850 respectively.
4.
To Calculate: The depreciation amount for the year 2018, and 2019 using one hundred fifty percent declining balance method.
Explanation of Solution
One hundred fifty declining-balance method:
It is an accelerated method of depreciation under which the depreciation declines in each successive year until the value of asset becomes zero. Under this method, the book value (original cost less accumulated depreciation) of the long-term asset is decreased by a fixed rate. It is one and half times the rate of the straight-line depreciation.
Calculate the depreciation expense using One hundred fifty declining-balance method.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2018.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019.
Thus, the depreciation expense as per one hundred fifty percent declining balance method for the year 2018 and 2019 is $4,313, and $16, 603 respectively.
5.
To Calculate: The depreciation amount for the year 2018, and 2019 using unit-of-production method.
Explanation of Solution
Unit-of-production method:
Under this method of depreciation, the depreciation expense is calculated on the basis of units produced in a year. This method is suitable when a company has fluctuating productive rate.
Calculate the depreciation expense using Unit-of-production method.
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2018.
Determine the depreciation expense for the year 2019.
Working Note:
Determine the depreciation per unit.
Thus, the depreciation expense as per units-of-production method for the year 2018 and 2019 is $5,000, and $12,500 respectively.

- 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 (MACRS) for tax purposes. He 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 years 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.
