Table (3)
Working note (7):
Calculate the group depreciation cost under straight line method:
Working note (8):
Calculate the depreciation rate.
Working note (9):
Calculate the depreciation expense after retirement of truck for each year.
Figure (3)
Note: Depreciation expense after retirement for the year 2021 is $800, because the amount of $3,200 would reduce the book value of remaining two trucks (2 trucks) in the year 2022. Hence, the depreciation expense for 2021 is 800

EBK INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING: REPORTING
- On January 1, 2014, Klinefelter Company purchased a building for 520,000. The building had an estimated life of 20 years and an estimated residual value of 20,000. The company has been depreciating the building using straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of 2020, the following independent situations occur: a. The company estimates that the building has a remaining life of 10 years (for a total of 16 years). b. The company changes to the sum-of-the-years-digits method. c. The company discovers that it had ignored the estimated residual value in the computation of the annual depreciation each year. Required: For each of the independent situations, prepare all journal entries related to the building for 2020. Ignore income taxes.arrow_forwardLoban Company purchased four cars for 9,000 each and expects that they will be sold in 3 years for 1,500 each. The company uses group depreciation on a straight-line basis. Required: 1. Prepare journal entries to record the acquisition and the first years depreciation expense. 2. If one of the cars is sold at the beginning of the second year for 7,000, what journal entry is required?arrow_forwardGroup 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_forward
- Kam Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2019, for 20,000. The machine had an expected life of 8 years and a residual value of 300. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation is used. Required: 1. Compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life and book value at the end of each year. 2. Assuming that the company has a policy of always changing to the straight-line method at the midpoint of the assets life, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life. 3. Assuming that the company always changes to the straight-line method at the beginning of the year when the annual straight-line amount exceeds the double-declining-balance amount, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life.arrow_forwardMontello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one it expects to use the truck for 26,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.arrow_forwardAkron 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_forward
