Question

Problem 9-4A At the beginning of 2017, Mazzaro Company acquired equipment costing $120,000. It was estimated that this equipment would have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $12,000 at that time The straight-line method of depreciation was considered the most appropriate to use with this type of equipment. Depreciation is to be recorded at the end of each year During 2019 (the third year of the equipment's life), the company's engineers reconsidered their expectations and estimated that the equipment's useful life would probably be 7 years (in total) instead of 6 years. The estimated salvage value was not changed at that time. However, during 2022, the estimated salvage value was reduced to $5,000 Indicate how much depreciation expense should be recorded each year for this equipment, by completing the following table Depreciation Accumulated Depreciation Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Expense Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work

Explanation / Answer

Depreciation From year 2017 =cost price - salvage value / life

= 120000 - 12000 /6

=$ 18000

Depreciation from year 2019= (120000-36000)-12000 / 5

= $ 14400

Depreciation Fro year 2022 = (120000-79200) - 5000 / 2

= $ 17900

Year Depreciation Accumulated Deps 2017 18000 18000 2018 18000 36000 2019 14400 50400 2020 14400 64800 2021 14400 79200 2022 17900 97100 2023 17900 115000
