estimate

24
Q

what are the three amounts required for each depreciable asset:

A

-acquisition cost

25
Q

the expected service life of the asset

A

estimated useful life

26
Q

estimated amount to be recovered by the company at the end of the assets estimated useful life

A

estimated residual

27
Q

Q

What are three methods to calculate depreciation

A

-straight line (used by > 98% of companies)
-units of production
-declining balance(conceptually)

29
Q

allocates the cost of an asset in equal periodic amounts over its useful life. So depreciation expense is a ________

A

straight line method
-constant amount each year

30
Q

straight line formula:

A

depreciation expense= (cost-residual value)/useful life

31
Q

allocates the cost of an asset over its useful life based on the relation of its periodic output to its total estimated output

A

units-of-production method

32
Q

units-of-production formula:

A

depreciation expense= (cost-residual expense)-estimated total production *actual production

33
Q

allocates the cost of an asset over its useful life based on a multiple of the straight-line rate (often two times).

A

declining-balance method

34
Q

if the asset is more efficient or productive when it is newer, matches higher depreciation expense with higher revenues in the early years of an assets life and lower depreciation expense with lower revenues in the later years

A

accelerated depreciation method

35
Q

double-declining balance formula

A

depreciation expense=(cost-accumulated depreciation)/ useful life *2

36
Q

companies recognize a loss for the difference between the assets book value and its fair value

A

asset impairment

Q

what is step 1 in asset impairment

A

test for impairment
