On April 1, 2017, Mills Company acquired equipment for $125,000. The estimated useful life is six years, and the estimated residual value is $5,000. Mills estimates that the equipment can produce 25,000 unts of product. During 2017 and 2018, respectively, 3,000 units and 4,200 units were produced. Mills reports on a calendar year basis.  Required: Calculate depreciation expense for 2017 and 2018 under each of the following methods (ssume that Mills calculates depreciation to the nearest month in the year of acquisition): 1. Straight-line method. 2. Production method (units of output).

On August 3, Franko Construction purchased special - purpose equipment at a cost of $8, 900, 000. The useful life of the equipment was estimated to be eight years, with an estimated residual value of $20,000. Required: Compute the depreciation expense to be recognized each calendar year for financial reporting purposes under the straight - line depreciation method (half- year convention). Compute the depreciation expense to be recognized each calendar year for financial reporting purposes under the 200 percent declining - balance method (half-year convention) with a switch to straight line when it will maximize depreciation expense. Which of these two depreciation methods (straight line or double - declining - balance) results in the highest net income for financial reporting purposes during the first two years of the equipment's use?

On August 3, Cinco Construction purchased special-purpose equipment at a cost of $9,900,000.

Equipment was purchased for $120,000 on March 1, 2016. Its estimated useful life is eight years with a $12,000 expected salvage value. Using double-declining balance depreciation, the 2017 depreciation expense is: A) $22,500 B) $27,000 C) $23,750

Swindall Industries uses straight-line depreciation on all of its depreciable assets. The company records annual depreciation expense at the end of each calendar year. On January 11, 2017, the company purchased a machine costing $117,000. The machine's useful life was estimated to be 12 years with an estimated residual value of $17,200. Depreciation for partial years is recorded to the nearest full month. In 2021, after almost five years of experience with the machine, management decided to revise its estimated life from 12 years to 20 years. No change was made in the estimated residual value. The revised estimate of the useful life was decided prior to recording annual depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. a. Prepare journal entries in chronological order for the given events, beginning with the purchase of the machinery on January 11, 2017. Show separately the recording of depreciation expense in 2017 through 2021. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round…

At the beginning of 2018, Bridgeport Company acquired equipment costing $187,400. It was estimated that this equipment would have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $18,740 at that time. The straight-line method of depreciation was considered the most appropriate to use with this type of equipment. Depreciation is to be recorded at the end of each year. During 2020 (the third year of the equipment's life), the company's engineers reconsidered their expectations, and estimated that the equipment's useful life would probably be 7 years (in total) instead of 6 years. The estimated salvage value was not changed at that time. However, during 2023 the estimated salvage value was reduced to $5,000. Indicate how much depreciation expense should be recorded each year for this equipment, by completing the following table. Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Year 2018 24 %24 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024

On September 1, 2018, Gabe's Brewing Co. purchased equipment for $168,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated 8-year useful life is expected to be $18,000. The company expects the machine to operate for 20,000 hours. The machine operated for 1,500 and 3,500 hours in 2018 and 2019, respectively. REQUIRED: 1. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the straightline method. 2. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the 150% declining balance method. 3. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the units-of-production method. 4. Now, assume the company sells the equipment on December 31, 2019, for $135,000 cash. Prepare the journal entry for the sale of the equipment assuming the company has used the straight-line method of depreciating the equipment.
