Concept Introduction:

Depreciation is a method of allocating the cost of assets over the estimated life of assets. The value of asset reduces as the passage of time because of obsolescence and wear & tear.

There are several methods of depreciation such as straight-line, units of production method, double-declining method and written down value etc.

Under straight-line method the depreciation method total cost less salvage value is divided by total number of useful life and depreciation is charged equally every year over the life of the asset.

Under units of production method, the total cost is divided by estimated number of units and then it is multiplied by no. of units consumed/ produced during the period.

Under double declining method following steps are used to calculate the depreciation:

i. Compute the asset’s straight-line depreciation rate

ii. Double the rate calculated above

iii. Multiply the rate with the beginning year book value.

Requirement-1:

To calculate:

We have to calculate the depreciation for each year under three methods of depreciation i.e. straight-line method, units of production method, double-declining method.

Answer to Problem 6BTN

Solution:

Under straight line method the depreciation for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is same and as below:

Depreciation for 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 = 10,500

Depreciation under Unit of production method:

Year 2015 = 8,400

Year 2016 = 12,600

Year 2017 = 14,700

Year 2018 = 6,300

Depreciation under double declining method:

Year 2015 = 22,000

Year 2016 = 11,000

Year 2017 = 5,500

Year 2018 = 2,750

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Under straight line method the depreciation for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is same and as below:

(Cost of vehicle - residual value)/ life of vehicle

=(44,000-2,000)/4 

= 10,500

Unit of production method

= (Cost of vehicle - residual value)/ total no. of miles to be driven &*#x00A0;miles driven during the year

Depreciation for 2015 = (44,000-2,000)/60,000 &*#x00A0;12,000

Depreciation for 2015 = 8,400

Depreciation for 2016 = (44,000-2,000)/60,000 &*#x00A0;18,000

Depreciation for 2016 = 12,600

Depreciation for 2017 = (44,000-2,000)/60,000 &*#x00A0;21,000

Depreciation for 2017 =14,700

Depreciation for 2018 = (44,000-2,000)/60,000 &*#x00A0;9,000

Depreciation for 2018 =6,300

In 2018, depreciation will be calculated for 9,000 miles even if the miles running are 10,000 because total life of vehicle is 42,000 miles.

Depreciation under double declining method:

The rate for calculating depreciation will be as below:

2&*#x00A0;100/useful life of =2 *100/4 =50%

Depreciation = book value of vehicle * rate of depreciation

Depreciation for 2015  = 44,000 *50%Depreciation for 2015  = 22,000

Closing book value at end of Dec 2015 = 44,000- 22,000 = 22,000

Depreciation for 2016  = 22000 *50%Depreciation for 2016  = 11,000Closing book value at end of Dec 2016 = 22,000- 11,000 = 11,000Depreciation for 2017  = 11000 *50%Depreciation for 2017  =  5,500Closing book value at end of Dec 2017 = 11,000- 5,500 = 5,500

Depreciation for 2018 = 5,500 *50%

Depreciation for 2018 = 2,750

Closing book value at end of Dec 2018 =  5,500 -2,750 = 2,750

Answer to Problem 6BTN

Solution:

The depreciation is recorded at year end in books of accounts. The depreciation expenses recorded in statement of profit and loss account as expenses and accumulated depreciation is credited and shown in balance sheet by deducting it from gross block of assets.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The journal entry for recording of depreciation expense will be as below:

Date Particular Debit Credit
  Depreciation expenses Debit XXX  
  Accumulated depreciation credit   XXX
  (Annual depreciation expense recorded)

Requiremnt-3:

To determine:

We have to explain the impact of depreciation method under three methods over the van’s life.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 6BTN

Solution:

If we follow other methods of depreciation then the impact of net income will be as below:

Year (decrease)/ increase in net income under double declining method (decrease)/ increase in net income under Unit of production method
2015 (11,500) 2,100
2016 (500) (2,100)
2017 5,000 (4,200)
2018 7,750 4,200
  750 0

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The impact on net income is as below if we follow other methods of depreciation other than straight-line method:

i. If we follow unit of production method:

Year Straight line method Unit of production (decrease)/ increase in net income
2015 10,500 8,400 2,100
2016 10,500 12,600 (2,100)
2017 10,500 14,700 (4,200)
2018 10,500 6,300 4,200
  42,000 42,000 0

ii. If we follow double declining method:

Year Straight line method Double declining method (decrease)/ increase in net income
2015 10,500 22,000 (11,500)
2016 10,500 11,000 (500)
2017 10,500 5,500 5,000
2018 10,500 2,750 7,750
  42,000 41,250 750

Answer to Problem 6BTN

Solution:

  2015 2016 2017 2018
Opening book value 44,000 44,000 44,000 44,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation 10,500 21,000
(10,500+ 10,500)
31,500
(21,000+10,500)
42,000
Closing book value 33,500 23,000 12,500 2,000
         

In balance sheet the closing book value will be shown as below:

Balance sheet as on 31.12.2015

Assets Amount
Gross Block: Van 44,000
Less: Accumulated depreciation 10,500
Net block 33,500

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

In balance sheet, the asset is shown at gross book value and accumulated depreciation is shown under assets side by deducting it from gross block. After deducting net book value is shown under balance sheet as Fixed assets.
