Document Summary

Under the straight-line method, companies expense the same amount of depreciation for each year of the asset"s useful life. It is measured solely by the passage of time. To compute depreciation expense under the straight-line method, companies need to determine depreciable cost. As indicated above, depreciable cost is the cost of the asset less its salvage value. It represents the total amount subject to depreciation. Under the straight-line method, to determine annual depreciation expense, we divide depreciable cost by the asset"s useful life. The computation below shows the first year"s depreciation expense for barb"s florists. Alternatively, we also can compute an annual rate of depreciation. In this case, the rate is 20% (100% 4 5 years). When a company uses an annual straight-line rate, it applies the percentage rate to the depreciable cost of the asset. The depreciation schedule below uses an annual rate. Note that the depreciation expense of ,400 is the same each year.

Related Questions

25.Which of the following items does not affect the calculation of depreciation expense?

A.Economic benefits generated by the asset

B.Useful life of the asset

C.Residual value of the asset

D.Capitalized cost of the asset

26.Which of the following statements is correct when the straight-line method is used to compute depreciation?

A.The carrying value of an asset is a constant amount during the asset's useful life

B.Accumulated depreciation is a constant amount during the asset's estimated useful life

C.Depreciation Expense is a constant amount each year

D.The book value of an asset is an increasing amount during the asset's useful life

27.One difference between the double-declining-balance method and the straight-line method is that the double-declining-balance method:

A.reduces book value below residual value.

B.does not consider the useful life of the asset in the calculation of depreciation.

C.cannot be used for tax purposes.

D.uses book value instead of depreciable cost in the calculation of depreciation.

28.Why don't all companies use the same depreciation method?

A.US income tax regulations require that a company use the same depreciation method for both financial reporting and income taxes.

B.Different depreciation methods might better reflect the pattern in which assets' economic benefits are used.

C.All companies do use the same depreciation method.

D.Only large companies are allowed to use some of the more complicated depreciation methods.

Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $48,870. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 4,320 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,350. The equipment was used for 800 hours during Year 1, 1,500 hours in Year 2, 1,300 hours in Year 3, and 720 hours in Year 4.

Required:

Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.

Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.

a. Straight-line method

Year	Amount
Year 1	$
Year 2	$
Year 3	$
Year 4	$

b. Units-of-output method

Year	Amount
Year 1	$
Year 2	$
Year 3	$
Year 4	$

c. Double-declining-balance method

Year	Amount
Year 1	$
Year 2	$
Year 3	$
Year 4	$

Feedback

Asset cost minus residual value equals depreciable cost. Sum the yearly depreciation to determine total depreciation.

Annual units-of-output depreciation allocates the cost of the asset equally over the units produced (hours).

The double-declining rate is two times the straight-line rate. Book value is the asset cost minus accumulated depreciation.

Compare the total depreciation for all methods over the time period. Recall that straight-line depreciation allocates the depreciable cost of the asset equally over the period of use, while double-declining method is an accelerated method.
