Solution
Part 1
Depreciation under SLM
Cost of Machine = $59,000
Salvage Value = $3,000
Period = 8years
Formula for SLM method of depreciation is
Cost of Machine - Salvage Value So $59,000 - $3,000 = $7,000
No of years or Useful Life 8
Hence the Machinery will be depreciated each year at $7,000.
Part 2
Double Discount method
To calculate depreciation under the double declining method, multiply the asset book value at the beginning of the fiscal year by a multiple of the straight-line rate of depreciation. The double declining balance formula is:
Double-declining balance (ceases when the book value = the estimated salvage value)
2 × Straight-line depreciation rate × Book value at the beginning of the year
Straight Line rate of Depreciation = Depreciation as per SLM which is 7000 = 12.5%
Cost of machine - Salvage value 59000-3000
Part 3
Sum of the year Digit method
Formula = n(n+1) = 8(8+1) = 36
2 2
Annual Depreciation is calculated by mulplying Net cost of machine which is ( Cost of machine- Salvage value) $59000-$3000=$56000 with the allocated percentage.
Part B
MACRS method of Depreciation
MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system
Formulas
Depreciation in 1st Year =Cost × 1 × A × Depreciation Convention
useful life
Where A is assumed to be 100%
So depreciation for first year will be by applying the above formula = 59000-3000*1/8*100%*1 =7000
2nd year using formula (56000-7000)*1/8*100% = 6125
3rd year using formua (56000-7000-6125)*1/8*100%= 5359.37
Same will be used till 7 years you can also use Table and get the rates . This will be direct method of solving the above just multiply the rate with cost of machinery and you will get the answer
Hope it helps.
