Holtzman Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2014. Assume that no entries for depreciation have been recorded in 2014. The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you.
1. Holtzman purchased equipment on January 2, 2011, for $94,300. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a $5,300 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2014, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a $2,300 salvage value. 2. During 2014, Holtzman changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $400,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $26,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2012 and 2013.

The machine has a salvage value of $10,000 and a useful life of 8 years. Holtzman’s bookkeeper recorded straight-line depreciation in 2012 and 2013 but failed to consider the salvage value.

Explanation / Answer

1)Deprectiation in 2014 = $94,300 - (8900*3 Depreciation charged uptill now ) - 2,300/4 = $16,325

2)Book value 400,000 - (64,000 +80000) = $256,000

Depreciation under straight line = (256,000- 26,000)/8 = $28,750

3) Depreciation charge 150,000/8   = $18,750

Should be charged (150,000- 10,000)/8 = 17,500

Overcharge = 18,750 - 17,500 = $1,250

Debit Credit Depreciation expense $16,325 To Accumulated depreciation $16,325
