If the Dump Truck is sold for $120,000 at the end of year 3, what is the gain/loss under each method?
Straight line depreciation, sum of the years, double declining, and modified accelerated cost recovery. Original cost is $125,000 with a useful life of 5 years. Residual value $15,000
Solution
1)-STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
DEPRICIATION FOR 3 YEARS-125000-15000=110000/5=22000*3=66000
GAIN=120000-66000=54000
3)-DOUBLE DECLINING METHOD-
YR1-120000*40/100=48000
YR2-120000-48000=72000*40/100=28800
YR3-72000-28800=43200*40/100=17280
TOTAL DEP=48000+28800+17280=94080
GAIN= 120000-94080=25920
