Question

E. Depreciation A machine was purchased on July 1, 2010 for $65,000. It has a 5 year life and a $5,000 salvage value for financial reporting purposes. Straight line depreciation will be used for financial reporting purposes. DDBx with a zero salvage value will be used for tax purposes. Depreciation is taken to the nearest month. The company has a 2011 projected income of $100,000 before depreciation is deducted. The tax rate is 40%. 1. Calculate 2011 depreciation under both methods. 2. Make the entry to record taxes for 2011

Explanation / Answer

COST OF MACHINE=$65,000

USEFULL LIFE=5 YEARS

CALCULATION OF 2011 DEPRECIATION FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSE:

SALVAGE VALUE FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSE=$5,000

METHOD USED=STRAIGHT LINE

DEPRECIATION FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSE=(COST OF MACHINE-SALVAGE VALUE)/USEFULL LIFE=($65,000-$5,000)/5

=$60,000/5

=$12,000 EACH YEAR FOR 5 YEARS

CALCULATION OF 2011 DEPRECIATION FOR TAX PURPOSE:

SALVAGE VALUE=0

METHOD USED=DDBx

DDB RATE =1/LIFE * 2=1/5 * 2=40%

DDB DEPRECIATION=BEGNING OF PERIOD CARRYING VALUE*DDB RATE

CALCULATIONS

PROJECTED INCOME FOR 2011=$1,00,000

DEPRECIATION FOR TAX PURPOSE=$20,800

INCOME AFTER DEPRECIATION=$1,00,000-$20,800=$79,200

TAX RATE=40%

TAX AMOUNT=$79,200*40%=$31,680

JOURNAL ENTRY TO RECORD TAXES FOR 2011

YEAR DDB 2010 $65,000*20%(FOR HALF YEAR)=$13,000 2011 $52,000*40%=$20,800
