Straight-line
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
the annual depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and the book value for each of the estimated four years of use by the straight-line method.
1. (a)
Explanation of Solution
Determine the annual depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and the book value by straight-line method.
Year | Depreciation Expense (1) | Accumulated Depreciation, End of Year | Book Value, End of Year |
Year 1 | $25,625 | $25,625 | $84,375 |
Year 2 | $25,625 | $51,250 | $58,750 |
Year 3 | $25,625 | $76,875 | $33,125 |
Year 4 | $25,625 | $102,500 | $7,500 |
Table (1)
Working notes:
Cost of the equipment= $110,000
Estimated residual value =$7,500
Estimated Useful Life =4 years
Notes (1):
Accumulated Depreciation for the current year is the sum total of the previous years’ depreciation expense.
Book value is the difference between the cost of the asset and the accumulated depreciation.
(b)
the annual depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and the book value for each of the estimated four years of use by double-declining-balance method.

Explanation of Solution
Determine the annual depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and the book value by double-declining-balance method.
Year | Depreciation Expense | Accumulated Depreciation, End of Year | Book Value, End of Year |
Year 1 |
|
$55,000 | $55,000 |
Year 2 |
|
$82,500 | $27,500 |
Year 3 |
|
$96,250 | $13,750 |
Year 4 | $6,250 (2) | $102,500 | $7,500 |
Table (2)
Notes (2):
Accumulated depreciation is the sum total of the previous years’ depreciation expense.
Book value is the difference between the cost of the asset and the accumulated depreciation.
The depreciation expense should not exceed the residual value of $7,500. Thus, it should be adjusted to make the book value of the equipment (cost less accumulated depreciation) equal to its residual value. Thus, the depreciation expense for Year 4 would be

Table (4)
Explanation of Solution
- Cash is an asset, and it is increased by $18,000. Therefore, debit cash with $18,000.
- Accumulated depreciation-Equipment is a contra-asset with a normal credit balance. The decrease in accumulated depreciation increases the asset by $96,250. Therefore, debit Accumulated depreciation – Equipment by $96,250.
- Gain on Sale of Equipment is a gain for the company, and it increases the
stockholder’s equity by $4,250. Therefore, credit Gain on Sale of Equipment by $4,250. - Equipment is an asset, and it is decreased by $110,000. Therefore, credit Equipment account by $110,000.

FINANCIAL AND MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING
- A machine costing 350,000 has a salvage value of 15,000 and an estimated life of three years. Prepare depreciation schedules reporting the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the machine for each year under the double-declining-balance and sum-of-the-years-digits methods. For the double-declining-balance method, round the depreciation rate to two decimal places.arrow_forwardIMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, Dans Demolition purchased two jackhammers for 2,500 each with a salvage value of 100 each and estimated useful lives of four years. 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. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each jackhammer for 20-2 through 20-4.arrow_forwardWhen depreciation is recorded each period, what account is debited? a.
