Methods of
The three methods of depreciation are:
- 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.
- Units-of-activity method: In this method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation is charged based on the unit of production each year.
- Double-declining balance method (Accelerated method): In this method of depreciation, the diminishing value of the asset is taken into consideration for determining the depreciation for the succeeding years.
To Compute: the amount of

Compute depreciable cost for
Determine the depreciation rate for straight line method for Machine 1.
Compute depreciable rate for declining-balance method for Machine 2.
Compute depreciation per unit for units-of-activity method for Machine 3.
Note:
Double-declining-balance ignores the salvage value for calculating depreciation.

To Calculate: the amount of depreciation expense for Machine 2 for 2016 and 2017.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the amount of depreciation expense for Machine 2 for 2016 and 2017.
For 2016:
Cost of the Machine 2= $85,000
Depreciation Rate =40% (3)
Number of months used in 2016 = 9 months (April 1, 2016-December 31, 2016)
For 2017:
Cost of the Machine 2= $85,000
Accumulated Depreciation =$25,500 (5)
Depreciation Rate =40% (3)
Number of months used in 2017 = 12 months (January 1, 2017-December 31, 2017)
Therefore, the amount of depreciation expense for Machine 2 for 2016 is $25,500 and 2017 is $23,800.

- The accountant at industrial system Incorporated (ISI) decided to depriciate some new production equipment by using a declining balance method aproved by the goverment. ISI purchased three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of $400,000 each. The freight charges paid at the time of delivery was $20,000 and a special handling fee of $15,000 was paid. ISI paid $50,000 to prepare the site for the cells. In adddition, 6 employees, each earning $20.00 per hour worked five weeks at 40 hours per week to set up a prepare the new system. other materials applicable to the new cells cost $1000. a) determine the cost basis of the new cell. b) the useful life of the equiment is 5 years and ISI will use double declining balance as it method of depreciation until it has to swicht to SL. Determine which year that ISI will swith to SL.arrow_forwardIn recent years, Sunland Company has purchased three machines.
