- Wardell Company purchased a minicomputer on January 1, 2022, at a cost of $48.000 The computer was depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated five-year life with an estimated residual value of $3,000. On January 1, 2024, the estimate of useful life was changed to a total of 10 years, and the estimate of residual value was changed to $1,200 Exercise 11-23 (Algo) Part 2 2. Prepare the year-end journal entry for depreciation on December 31, 2024. Assume that the company uses the double-decline balance method instead of the straight-line method.

The equipment is assumed to have a 7-year economic life. The assumed salvage value for the widget equipment at the end of its economic life is $800. The equipment is expected to produce 35,000 widgets over its economic life. Actual annual production of widgets is 3,450 in year 1, 5,200 in year 2, 5,400 in year 3, 5,350 each in years 4-6 and 4,900 in year 7. Assume for the declining balance method that you will apply a double declining balance approach. Use an Excel spreadsheet to create a table similar to the one shown below. On your Excel spreadsheet, using the assumptions listed above, calculate the annual depreciation expense for the widget processing equipment using each of the four methods and fill in the table in Excel.
