Answer to Problem 51P
Book Value after 2 years is $40800.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Useful Life = 5 years
Cost of asset = $85000
Salvage Value = $15000
ADR life = 8 years.
Calculation:
MACRS
Recovery Year, t (year) | MACRS |
1 | 20% |
2 | 32% |
3 | 19.20% |
4 | 11.52% |
5 | 11.52% |
6 | 5.76% |
100% |
The asset is a 5-year property with asset depreciation range (ADR) class life of more than 10 years and less than 16 years.
Book Value is calculated of an asset at the end of 1st year of its useful life period.
T = 1
B = $85000
Years | Depreciation charge | Book Value |
1 | 17000 | 68000 |
2 | 27200 | 40800 |
3 | 16320 | 24480 |
4 | 9792 | 14688 |
5 | 9792 | 4896 |
6 | 4896 | 0 |
7 | 0 | 0 |
8 | 0 | 0 |
85000 |
Conclusion:
Book Value after 2 years is $40800.

v.
The book value of the asset for the 8th year.
Answer to Problem 51P
The book value of the asset for the 8th year, using MACRS is $0.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Useful Life = 5 years
Cost of asset = $85000
Salvage Value = $15000
ADR life = 8 years.
Calculation:
Book Value is calculated of an asset at the end of 1st year of its useful life period.
Useful Life = 5 years
Cost of asset = $85000
Salvage Value = $15000
ADR life = 8 years.
T = 1
B = $85000
Years | Depreciation charge | Book Value |
1 | 17000 | 68000 |
2 | 27200 | 40800 |
3 | 16320 | 24480 |
4 | 9792 | 14688 |
5 | 9792 | 4896 |
6 | 4896 | 0 |
7 | 0 | 0 |
8 | 0 | 0 |
85000 |
Conclusion:
The book value of the asset for the 8th year, using MACRS is $0.
vi.
Book Value at the end of 3rd year using straight Line Method.
Answer to Problem 51P
The book value of the asset after 3rd year is $58570.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Useful Life = 5 years
Cost of asset = $85000
Salvage Value = $15000
ADR life = 8 years.
Calculation:
Straight Line depreciation Method:
T = 1 year
B = $85000
S = $15000
N = 8
Straight Line depreciation is constant throughout the depreciable Life. Thus, the depreciation charge for the asset is $8750 for every year throughout the depreciable life of the asset.
Book Value at the end of 3rd year
Conclusion:
Thus, the book value of the asset after 3rd year is $58570.
vi.
