In recent years, Sunland Company has purchased three machines. Because of frequent employee turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant was in charge of selecting the depreciation method for each machine, and various methods have been used. Information concerning the machines is summarized in the table below.

For the declining-balance method, Sunland Company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total machine hours are expected to be 34,500. Actual hours of use in the first 3 years were: 2016, 770; 2017, 5,700; and 2018, 7,400.

Explanation / Answer

PART 1

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2018 - MACHINE 1

         

Straight Line Depreciation = ( Cost of the asset – Salvage Value ) / Usefull Life

                                      = ($129500 - $41500) / 8 Years

                                      = $11000 per year

Depreciation 2015 = $11,000

Depreciation 2016 = $11,000

Depreciation 2017 = $11,000

Depreciation 2018 = $11,000

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2018 = $11000 x 4 = $44000

Depreciation Rate =2x 1/5 = 0.40

2016 Depreciation = 85500 * 0.40* 6/12 = $17100

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2018 = $60,876

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2018 - MACHINE 3

Depreciation = [(Cost of Asset - Residual Value) / Estimated Total hours] x Actual hours

Depreciation Year 2016 = $69000 x (770 Hours / 34500 Hours) * 2/12

                             = $257

Depreciation Year 2017 = $69000 x (5700 Hours / 34500 Hours)

                             = $11400

Depreciation Year 2018 = $69000 x (7400 Hours / 34500 Hours)                                                   = $14800

Accumulated Depreciation at December 31,2018 = $267 + 11400+14800

=$ 26467

PART 2

Depreciation for 2016 = $85500 x 0.40 x 9/12 = $25,650

Depreciation for 2017 = ($85500-$25650) x 0.40 = $23,940
