Q

An example of using the annual depreciation equation for the straight-line method is.

Assume equipment costs $5,000 with a 3 year useful life and a $500 salvage value

A

$5,000 - $500 / 3 years = $1,500

57
Q

How to calculate depreciable cost per unit

A

Depreciable cost per units = acquisition cost / total amount of units produced

Ex:
Acquisiton cost: $10,000
Units produced (lifetime): $200,000
Depreciable cost per unit = $10,000 / $200,000
Depreciable cost per unit = $0.05

58
Q

How do you calculate depreciation expense using the unit-of-production method?

A

Units produced x depreciation cost per unit

Ex:
Units produced: 80,000
Depreciation cost per unit: $0.05

Depreciation expense: units produced x depreciation cost per unit

Depreciation expense: 80,000 x 0.05 = 4,000

Depreciation expense = $4,000

59
Q

How is the annual depreciation rate calculated using the declining-balance method?

A

Straight line depreciation rate x 2

Ex:
Straight line depreciation rate = 20
x 2

Declining-balance method = 20 x 2

Declining-balance method = 40

60
Q

How to calculate book value

A

Equipment - accumulated depreciation

Example:
Equipment: 11,000
