Question

The Dow Ceramic Company purchased a glass moulding machine in 2006 for $146,000. The company has been depreciating the machine over an estimated useful lfe of 10 years, assuming no salvage value, by the straight-line method of depreciation. For tax purposes, the machine has been depreciated as a Class 43 property. At the beginning of 2009, Dow overhauled the machine at a cost of $25,000. As a result of the overhaul, Dow estimated that the useful life of the machine would extend five years beyond the original estimate. (a) Calculate the book depreciation for year 201 1. b) Calculate the CCA for year 2011"

Explanation / Answer

a. Calculation of Book Depreciation - Straight Line Method

Overhauled cost will be added to remaining cost of machine.

Depreciation for 2006 to 2008 will be 146,000/ 10 years of life.

Depreciation from 2009 will be (102,200 + 25,000)/ 12 years revised life

After overhaulation total life of machine will be extend by 5 years = 10+5 = 15 years. 3 year already gone hence reamining 12 year will be taken for calculation

Book Depreciation for 2011 = $10,600

2. Calculation of Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) for Depreciation

CCA rate for Class 43 = 30% - Eligible machinery and equipment used for manufacturing of goods for sale

Overhauled cost will be added to remaining cost of machine in 2009

Depreciation for 2011 = $ 25,752
