Depreciation Methods
On January 2, 2018, Skyler, Inc. purchased a laser cutting machine to be used in the fabrication of a part for one of its key products. The machine cost $120,000, and its estimated useful life was four years or 920,000 cuttings, after which it could be sold for $5,000.
Required
a. Calculate each year’s depreciation expense for the machine's useful life under each of the following depreciation methods (round all answers to the nearest dollar):1. Straight-line.2. Double-declining balance.3. Units-of-production. (Assume annual production in cuttings of 200,000; 350,000; 260,000; and 110,000.)
Exercise 9.3 (Algo) Depreciation for Partial Years (LO9-3) On August 3, Cinco Construction purchased special-purpose equipment at a cost of $7,600,000. The useful life of the equipment was estimated to be eight years, with an estimated residual value of $20,000. a. Compute the depreciation expense to be recognized each calendar year for financial reporting purposes under the straight-line depreciation method (half-year convention). b. Compute the depreciation expense to be recognized each calendar year for financial reporting purposes under the 200 percent declining-balance method (half-year convention) with a switch to straight-line when it will maximize depreciation expense. c. Which of these two depreciation methods (straight-line or double-declinin.

- 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. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?arrow_forwardExercise 8-25 (LO. 4) On April 5, 2020, Kinsey places in service a new automobile that cost $60,000.
