Exercise 6-20A Asset replacement decision

Kahn Company paid $240,000 to purchase a machine on January 1, 2017. During 2019, a technological breakthrough resulted in the development of a new machine that costs $300,000. The old machine costs $100,000 per year to operate, but the new machine could be operated for only $36,000 per year. The new machine, which will be available for delivery on January 1, 2019, has an expected useful life of four years. The old machine is more durable and is expected to have a remaining useful life of four years. The current market value of the old machine is $80,000. The expected salvage value of both machines is zero.

Cullumber estimated the equipment would have a 8-year useful life and a residual value of $8,900. The company uses straight-line depreciation and has a September 30 fiscal year end. On October 1, 2024, Cullumber paid $15,100 cash to upgrade the equipment. It is expected that the upgrade will significantly reduce the operating costs of the equipment. Cullumber also reviewed the equipment's expected useful life and estimated that, due to changing technology, the equipment's total expected useful life will be 6 years and its residual value will be $4,600. Calculate the annual depreciation expense for the first two years of the equipment's life.
