- (Learning Objective 3: Compute and record depreciation after a change in usefullife of the asset) Fun Town Amusement Park paid $500,000 for a concession stand. Fun Townstarted out depreciating the building using the straight-line method over 25 years with a residualvalue of zero. After using the concession stand for four years, Fun Town determines that thebuilding will remain useful for only five more years. Record Fun Town’s depreciation on theconcession stand for year five using the straight-line method.arrow_forward4. Mount Vernon Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $15,000. The truck has a salvage value of $3,000 and is expected to be driven for 120,000 miles. Mount Vernon uses the units- of-production depreciation method and in year one it expects to use the truck for 23,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.arrow_forwardTwo years ago you purchased a Suburban to use as an Uber vehicle. The purchase price of the Suburban was $58,000 and you have depreciated the Suburban using a 5-year MACRS schedule. To date, you have recognized two periods of depreciation.

- (Learning Objective 3: Compute depreciation and book value by three methods—firstyear only) On January 1, 2017, Northeast Transportation Company purchased a used aircraftat a cost of $58,900,000. Northeast expects the plane to remain useful for five years(7,200,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $4,900,000. Northeast expects to fly the plane750,000 miles the first year, 1,375,000 miles each year during the second, third, and fourthyears, and 2,325,000 miles the last year.1. Compute Northeast’s depreciation for the first two years on the plane using the followingmethods:a. Straight-line methodb. Units-of-production method (round depreciation per mile to the closest cent)c. Double-declining-balance method2. Show the airplane’s book value at the end of the first year under each depreciation method.arrow_forwardUniversity Car Wash purchased new soap dispensing equipment that cost $249,000 including installation. The company estimates that the equipment will have a residual value of $25,500. University Car Wash also estimates it will use the machine for six years or about 12,500 total hours. Actual use per year was as follows: Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 Total Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 Problem 7-5A (Algo) Part 3 3. Prepare a depreciation schedule for six years using the activity-based method.

- 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.arrow_forwardMontezuma 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 6–10 (the entry will be the same for each of the five years).arrow_forwardMontello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000.

- Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years. At that point, Alfredo believes it will be able to sell the printer for $15,000. Calculate yearly depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.arrow_forwardMontello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for ten years. Montello uses the straight-line depreciation method. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.arrow_forwardTo test your formulas, assume the machine purchased had an estimated useful life of three years (20,000, 30,000, and 50,000 hours, respectively). Enter the new information in the Data Section of the worksheet. Does your depreciation total 320,000 under all three methods? There are three common errors made by students completing this worksheet. Lets clear up two of them. One, an asset that has a three-year life should have no depreciation claimed in Year 4. This can be corrected using an =IF statement in Year 4. For example, the correct formula in cell C32 is =IF(B32D9,0,(D7D8)/D9) or =IF(B32D9, 0, SLN(D7, D8, D9)). You may wish to edit what you have already entered rather than retype it. Two, as mentioned in requirement 2, the double-declining-balance calculation needs to be modified in the last year of the assets life. Assuming you have already modified the formula for Year 4 (per instructions in step 2), alter the formula for Year 3 also. If you corrected any formulas, test their correctness by trying different estimated useful lives (between 3 and 8) in cell E9. Then reset the Data Section to the original values, save the revised file as DEPREC2, and reprint the worksheet to show the correct formulas. The third common error doesnt need to be corrected in this problem. The general form of the double-declining-balance formula needs to be modified to check the net book value of the asset each year to make sure it does not go below salvage value. =DDB does this automatically, but if you are writing your own formulas, this gets very complicated and is beyond the scope of the problem.arrow_forward
