Question

guestion y (12 points) Alpha Company has the following items in its equipment account: Method of Depreciation Asset & Date Purchased Cost Salvage Value Unit of Activity $60,000 1. Delivery Truck (4/30/15) 2. Office Furniture (6/1/15) 3. Computer (4/1/15) 11,000 Straight Line $15,000 $300 Double Declining $5,000 $700 The delivery truck is estimated to have a life cycle of 200,000 miles. It was driven for 1.16,500 miles in 2015 &24,600 miles in 2016 2. The Office Furniture has a life expectancy of 7 years 3. The Computer has a life expectancy of 4 years. Round any per unit calculations to the nearest half penny, Round all annual depreciation expenses to the nearest dollar: Use this information to compute for Fiscal Year 2016 the following values: 1. Book Value of the Delivery Truck 2. Depreciation Expense - Truck

Explanation / Answer

1. Book value of the delivery truck

Depreciation Per mile = Cost - salvage value / Expected miles

= 60,000 - 11000 / 200,000

= 0.245 Per mile

Depreciation for 2015 = 16500 X 0.245 per mile = 4042.5

Book value of the delivery truck at the end of 2015 = 60,000 - 4042.5 = 55957.5

2. Depreciation expense - truck

Depreciation for 2016 = 24,600 X 0.245 per mile = 6027

3.Book value of the office furniture

Depreciation for 2015 = Cost - salvage value / estimated useful life

= 15000 - 500 / 7

= 2071

Book value at the end of 2015 = 15000 - 2071 = 12929

4.Depreciation expense - Office furniture

Under straight line method of depreciation, depreciation will be same for all years

Depreciation for 2016 = 2071

5. Book value of the computer

Depreciation rate = ( 1 / Useful life ) X 200%

= ( 1 / 4 ) X 200%

= 50%

Depreciation for 2015 = 5000 X 50% = 2500

Book value at the end of 2015 = 5000 - 2500 = 2500

6. Depreciation expense - Computer

Depreciation for 2016 = 2500 X 50% = 1250
