Assume that the truck was purchased on January 2. Calculate the depreciation expense for the second year using each of the following depreciation methods: (a) straight-line. (b) double-declining balance, and (c) units-of-production. (Assume that the truck was a. Straight-line b. Double-declining balance 9360 c. Units-of-production 6,125

Explanation / Answer

Double Declining Depreciation Method

Year

Book Value Begining

Double Declining Depreciation = 2 x SL Depreciation Rate x Book Value Begining

Net Book Value End

$ 26000

$ 13000

$ 6500

$ 6500

$ 3250

$ 1750

$ 1500

Stright Line Depreciation rate = 1/4 = 25%

Double Under Declining Depreciation Method Year Two = $ 6500

Unites of Production method

Depreciation for the period

= ( Cost – Residual value ) x Output of current period/Total Output

= ( $ 26000 - $ 1500 ) * 28000 / 125000 Miles

= $ 24500 * 28000 / 125000

Depreciation = $ 5488
