Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
An example of a depreciation schedule under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System of depreciation is shown. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) classifies various assets according to useful life and sets depreciation rates for each year of the asset’s life. This asset has a five year life. The MACRS rates are shown in the schedule. This example is for an asset with a cost of $40,000 and a salvage value of $4,000.

- Use the information in Problem A-1 to solve this problem. Assume that the van is five-year property for tax purposes. Required Prepare a schedule of depreciation under MACRS. Round figures to the nearest whole dollar. PROBLEM A-1 A delivery van was bought for 18,000. The estimated life of the van is four years. The trade-in value at the end of four years is estimated to be 2,000. Check Figure Year 3 depreciation, 3,456arrow_forwardColquhoun International purchases a warehouse for $300,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $15,000, and it is expected to be used for twenty-five years. Colquhoun uses the straight-line depreciation method for all warehouse buildings. After four years of recording depreciation, Colquhoun determines that the warehouse will be useful for only another fifteen years. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first four years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year five.arrow_forwardIMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, two flight simulators were purchased by a space camp for 77,000 each with a salvage value of 5,000 each and estimated useful lives of eight years. On January 1, 20-2, the hydraulic system for Simulator A was replaced for 6,000 cash and an updated computer for more advanced students was installed in Simulator B for 9,000 cash. The hydraulic system is expected to extend the life of Simulator A three years beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Simulators A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each simulator for 20-2 through 20-8.arrow_forward

On January 1, 20-2, a stronger blade to improve performance was installed in Jackhammer A for 800 cash and the compressor was replaced in Jackhammer B for 200 cash. The compressor is expected to extend the life of Jackhammer B one year beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Jackhammers A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3.

The cash flow before taxes (CFBT) is estimated at $10,000 for the first 4 years and $5000 thereafter as long as the asset is retained. The effective tax rate is 40%, and the money is worth 8% per year. In present worth dollars, how much of the cash flow generated by the asset over its recovery period is lost to taxes? The present worth (PW) of CFBT is determined to be $ . The present worth (PW) of CFAT is determined to be $ . The difference between the two present worth (PW) values is determined to be $ .arrow_forwardUltra-clean special handling devices used in the filling process for the manufacture of baby food are placed into use at a cost of $850,000. These devices are expected to be useful for 4 years with a negligible salvage value at that time. Compare MACRS to traditional depreciation methods by calculating yearly depreciation allowances, present worth of the depreciation allowances, and book value for each year using each of the following. MARR is 11%. a. MACRS-GDS as is proper over its property class depreciation life. b. DDB taking a full deduction in the first year, with the last deduction in year 3. c. DDB switching to straight-line, taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 3. d. SLN taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 3.arrow_forward
