Q

_______ is a process of cost allocation. We allocate the cost of the asset to expense over its useful life in some rational and systematic manner. We do not want to confuse asset valuation, an economic concept, with allocation.

A

Income Statement

Depreciation for the current year

37
Q

A

Balance Sheet

Total of depreciation to date for an asset

38
Q

A

Balance Sheet, Income Statement

39
Q

A

Increases, increases

40
Q

Journal Entry for Depreciation:

A

Dr. Depreciation Expense

Cr. Accumulated Depreciation

41
Q

Depreciation calculations require three amounts for each asset:

A

(1) Acquisition cost
(2) Estimated useful life
(2) Estimated residual value

42
Q

Methods to compute depreciation expense:

A

(1) Straight line
(2) Units of production
(3) Declining balance

43
Q

Cost - Residual Value (RV)

A

Depreciable Cost

44
Q

An asset can never be depreciated below this amount

A

Depreciated Cost

45
Q

Must always evaluate and “plug” last period of depreciation

A

Double Declining Method

46
Q

Used when the asset is expected to be used up in equal amounts. Spreads the depreciation expense evenly throughout the periods; IT IS THE SAME EACH PERIOD.

A

Straight Line Method

47
Q

Depreciation Expense = (Cost – Residual Value) / Useful Life

A

Straight Line Method

48
Q

Used when the amount of the asset production varies significantly from period to period; Production can be defined in terms of miles, products, machine hours, etc.

A

Units of Production Method

49
Q

Steps in Calculating Unit of Production Depreciation Rate:

A

(1) Find the Depreciation Rate
Depreciation Rate = (Cost – Residual Value) / Estimated Total Production
(2) Find Depreciation Expense
Depreciation Expense = Depreciation Rate x Actual Production for the Period

50
Q

Depreciation Rate = (Cost – Residual Value) / Estimated Total Production

A

Units of Production Method

51
Q

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation Rate x Actual Production for the Period

A

Units of Production Method

52
Q

Matches higher depreciation expense with higher revenues in the early years of an asset’s useful life when the asset is more efficient.

A

Declining Balance Method

53
Q

Declining Balance Method Early Years

A

Depreciation Expense: High

Repair Expense: Low

54
Q

Declining Balance Method Later Years:

A

Depreciation Expense: Low

Repair Expense: High

55
Q

Focuses on the overall ownership of the asset; attempts to match depreciation expense with repairs and maintenance expenditures. Reports MORE depreciation expense in the early years when asset is more efficient and less in the later years.

A

Double Declining Balance Method

56
Q

Calculating Double Declining Balance:

A

Depreciation Expense = ((Cost – Accumulated Depreciation) x 2) / Useful Life

Ignores residual value for the calculation.

BUT…be CAUTIOUS of the LAST year of depreciation expense –
need to make sure BV = RV, which will require a manual calculation

57
Q

Double Declining Balance Method for Depreciation Expense

A

Last year (final year) of depreciation expense = Current Book Value – Residual Value

58
Q

When a plant asset is acquired during the year, depreciation is calculated for the __________the asset is owned.

A

Fraction of the year

59

(2) Compute gain or loss on disposal

A
