Explanation / Answer

a. Depreciation under Straight-line Method :

Annual depreciation = ( Cost - Salvage Value ) / Estimated Useful Life = $ ( 18,900 - 9,800) / 7 = $ 1,300.

Depreciation expense for 2017 ( Partial Year) : $ 1,300 x 7 / 12 = $ 758.

Depreciation expense for 2018 ( Full Year ) : $ 1,300.

b. Depreciation under the Units of Production Method :

Depreciation per hour = ( Cost - Salvage Value ) / Estimated Total Hours = $ ( 18,900 - 9,800 ) / 36,400 = $ 0.25

Depreciation expense for 2017 : 9,100 x $ 0.25 = $ 2,275

Depreciation expense for 2018 : 10,920 x $ 0.25 = $ 2,730.

c. Depreciation under the double declining balance method :

Double declining rate of depreciation = 100 / Estimated Useful Life * 2 = 100 / 7 * 2 = 28.57 %

Annual depreciation expense = Cost x Double Declining Rate.

Depreciation expense for 2017 = $ 18,900 x 28.57 % x 7/12 = $ 3,149.84

Depreciation Expense for 2018 = $ (2,249.89 + 2,249.93) = $ 4,499.82.

Year Depreciation : January 1 - May 31 Depreciation : June 1 - December 31 $ 2017 - 3,149.84 2018 18,900 x 28.57 % - 3,149.84 = $ 2,249.89 $ ( 18,900 - 3,149.84 - 2,249.89 ) x 28.57 % x 7/12 = $ 2,249.93
