value: 0.50 points M9-7 Calculating Partial-Year Depreciation [LO 9-3] Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31 for equipment that was purchased at a cost of $55,000 on October 1. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated useful life of five years or 20,000 hours. Assume the equipment was used for 1,000 hours from October 1 to December 31 and the company uses (a) straight-line, (b) double-declining-balance, or (c) units-of-production depreciation. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. (a) Straight-Line (b) Double-Declining-Balance (c) Units-of-Production Depreciation $10,000 278 2,500

Solution

(a) Straight-Line = [($55,000 - $5,000) / 5] * 3/12 = $2,500

(b) Depreciation rate = 1/5 * 2 = 0.40 or 40%

Double-Declining-Balance = $55,000 * 0.40 * 3/12 = $5,500
