Answer each question using the information below. Each question is independent of the others. Equipment Cost $134,000
Installation Labor $4,500
Freight $10,000
Repairs of Damage during installation $6,000
Insurance on Freight $1,500
Estimated Salvage Value $20,000
Useful LIfe 8 years

Required:
a. What is the BOOK VALUE after 3 years of depreciation, using Straight-Line?
b. What is the ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION after 3 years, using DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE?

$105000

$90187.5

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

Cost of asset = $134,000 + $4,500 +  $10,000 + $6,000 + $1,500 = $156,000

Depreciation expense = ($156,000 -  $20,000) / 8 = $17,000

Book value = cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation

Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense

Accumulated depreciation at the end of three years = $17,000 x 3 = $51,000

$156,000 - $51,000 = $105,000

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 x(1/8) = 1/4

Depreciation expense in year 1 = 1/4 x $156,000 = $39,000

book value = $156,000 - $39,000 = $117000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 1/4 x $117000 = $29,250

book value = $117000 - $29,250 = $87750

Depreciation expense in year 3 = 1/4 x $87500 = 21937.50

Add the depreciation expense from year 1 to 3 to derive the accumulated depreciation

say it in english maybe we can

the correct answer is d. wealthy colonists to take care of the less fortunate. hope this
