(a)

To determine

Calculate depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for each of the six years using straight line method and record the adjusting entry for depreciation expense at the end of the third year under each method.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

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. The following is the formula to calculate the depreciation.

Depreciation expense= Cost of the assetResidual valueEstimated useful life of the asset

Determine depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value at the end of sixth year under straight line depreciation method.

Financial Accounting, Chapter 7, Problem 1AE , additional homework tip  1

Table (1)

Hence, the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value at the end of the sixth year, under straight line method are $12,000, $72,000 and $24,000 respectively.

Record the adjusting entry for depreciation expense at the end of the third year under straight line depreciation method.

 (To record the depreciation expense)   

Table (2)

To record the adjusting entry for depreciation expense at the end of the third year:

  • Depreciation expense is an expense (decreases the stockholders’ equity) and it is increased by $12,000. Therefore, debit depreciation account with $12,000.
  • Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset. Increase in the accumulated depreciation account decreases the related asset account. Therefore, credit accumulated depreciation account with $12,000.

Working Note:

The above calculation is computed using spreadsheet as follows:

To determine

Calculate depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for each of the six years using double-declining-balance method and record the adjusting entry for depreciation expense at the end of the third year under each method.

(b)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Double-declining-balance method: The depreciation method which assumes that the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset is high in the early years but gradually declines towards the end of its useful life is referred to as double-declining-balance method.

Determine depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value at the end of sixth year under double declining balance method.
