Jon Seceda Furnace Corp. purchased machinery for $321,300 on May 1, 2014. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, salvage value of $15,300, production of 244,800 units, and working hours of 25,000. During 2015, Seceda Corp. uses the machinery for 2,650 hours, and the machinery produces 26,010 units.

From the information given, compute the depreciation charge for 2015 under each of the following methods

Working hours

Sum-of-the-years'-digits

Declining-balance (use 20% as the annual rate

Explanation / Answer

Working hours

Sum-of-the-years'-digits

10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 55

or

=+(10*(10+1))/2 =55

(10/55) * 306,000 * 1/3 = $18,182

(9/55) * 306,000 * 2/3 = $32,727

Total =18545+33382 =51927

(e) Declining-balance (use 20% as the annual rate e 1/10 *2 =20%).

=321300*20%*1/3=21420

=+(321300-(321300*20%))*20%*2/3 =34272

2015 depreciation=21420+34272 =55692
