An automated assembly robot that cost $400,000 has a depreciable life of 5 years with a $100,000 salvage value. The MACRS depreciation rates for years 1, 2, and 3 are 20%, 32% and 19.2% respectively. What is the book value at the end of year 6

Book Value at end of year 6 = $100,000

Explanation:

An Asset is depreciated to salvage value therefore when depreciation is complete the book value equals salvage value or zero.

Salvage value is an estimated value of what the company expects to earn after using the asset maybe when selling off the asset.

Explanation:

Year  Depreciation Rate  Depreciation=400000*rate  Book value

1                            20                       80000                      320000

2                            32                        128000                    192000

3                          19.2                       76800                      115200

4                           11.52                     46080                     69120

5                           11.52                      46080                    23040

6                            5.76                    23040                         0

Therefore, the book value at the end of year 6 = 0

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
