At the beginning of Year 1, Copland Drugstore purchased a new computer system for $52,000. It is expected to have a five-year life and a $7,000 salvage value. Required a. Compute the depreciation for each of the five years, assuming that the company uses (1) Straight-line depreciation. (2) Double-declining-balance depreciation.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Calculate Straight-line depreciation

= Cost - salvage value/useful life

= $52,000 - $7,000/5

= $45,000/5

= $9,000 per year for 5 years

2. Double-declining-balance depreciation.

= 2 X Cost of the asset/Useful Life

= 2 x $52,000/5

= $104,000/5

= $20,800 year 1

= 2 X Cost of the asset/Useful Life

= 2 x (52,000-20,800)/4

= 2 x 31,200/4

=$62,400/4

= $15,600 year 2

= 2 X Cost of the asset/Useful Life

= 2 x (52,000-20,800-15,600)/3

= 2 x 15,600/3

= $31,200/3

= $10,400 year 3

= 2 X Cost of the asset/Useful Life

= 2 x (52,000-20,800-15,600- 10,400)/2

= 2 x 5,200/2

Since the cost bal is less than the salvage value, we have to stop here.

1) With the Straight-line Depreciation method, Copland Drugstore's depreciation expense for each of the five years is $9,000.

2) With Double-declining-balance method, Copland Drugstore's depreciation for each of the five years are:

                              Year 1        Year 2     Year 3      Year 4      Year 5

Depreciation     $20,800     $12,480    $7,480    $4,240         $0

Data and Calculations:

Cost of the computer system = $52,000

Expected useful life = 5 years

Salvage value = $7,000

Depreciable amount based on straight-line method = $45,000 ($52,000 - $7,000)

Annual depreciation = $9,000 ($45,000/5)

Double-declining-balance method:

Depreciation rate = 40% (100/5 x 2)

Depreciation expenses:

Year 1 = $20,800 ($52,000 x 40%)

Declining balance = $31,200 ($52,000 - $20,800)

Year 2 = $12,480 ($31,200 x 40%)

Declining balance = $18,720 ($31,200 - $12,480)

Year 3 = $7,480 ($18,720 x 40%)

Declining balance = $11,240 ($18,720 - $7,480)

Year 4 = $4,240 ($11,240 - $7,000)

Declining balance = $7,000 ($11,240 - $4,232)

Year 5 = $0

Declining balance = $7,000
