Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one it expects to use the truck for 26,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.
Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one the company expects the truck to be driven for 26,000 miles; in year two, 30,000 miles; and in year three, 40,000 miles. Consider how the purchase of the truck will impact Montellos depreciation expense each year and what the trucks book value will be each year after depreciation expense is recorded.
Colquhoun International purchases a warehouse for $300,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $15,000, and it is expected to be used for twenty-five years. Colquhoun uses the straight-line depreciation method for all warehouse buildings. After four years of recording depreciation, Colquhoun determines that the warehouse will be useful for only another fifteen years. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first four years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year five.
A machine costing 350,000 has a salvage value of 15,000 and an estimated life of three years. Prepare depreciation schedules reporting the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the machine for each year under the double-declining-balance and sum-of-the-years-digits methods. For the double-declining-balance method, round the depreciation rate to two decimal places.
Montezuma Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $20,000. The truck has a salvage value of $8,000 and is expected to be driven for ten years. Montezuma uses the straight-line depreciation method. Calculate the annual depreciation expense. After five years of recording depreciation, Montezuma determines that the delivery truck will be useful for another five years (ten years in total, as originally expected) and that the salvage value will increase to $10,000. Determine the depreciation expense for the final five years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for years 6â€“10 (the entry will be the same for each of the five years).
IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, two flight simulators were purchased by a space camp for 77,000 each with a salvage value of 5,000 each and estimated useful lives of eight years. On January 1, 20-2, the hydraulic system for Simulator A was replaced for 6,000 cash and an updated computer for more advanced students was installed in Simulator B for 9,000 cash. The hydraulic system is expected to extend the life of Simulator A three years beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Simulators A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each simulator for 20-2 through 20-8.
A high-precision programmable router for shaping furniture components is purchased by Henredon for $190,000. It is expected to last 12 years and have a salvage value of $5,000. Calculate the depreciation deduction and book value for each year. Use declining balance depreciation with a rate that ensures the book value equals the salvage value.
A file server and peripherals are purchased in December by a calendar-year taxpayer for $8,000. The server will be used for 6 years and be worth $200 at that time. Calculate the depreciation deduction during years 1, 3, and 6. Use declining balance depreciation, switching to straight-line depreciation.
On October 1, Organic Farming purchases wind turbines for $140,000. The wind turbines are expected to last six years, have a salvage value of $20,000, and be depreciated using the straight-line method. 1.

Straight-line depreciation for the last three months of the first year 2. Straight-line depreciation for the second year
A surface mount PCB placement/soldering line is to be installed for $1,800,000. It will have a salvage value of $90,000 after 5 years. Determine the depreciation deduction and the resulting unrecovered investment during each year of the asset’s life.
