Exercise 2

Exercise 3

On January 1, the Hanover Beverage Company replaced the palletizing machine on one of its juice lines. The cost of the machine was $195,000. The machine's expected life is five years or 480,000 units, and its estimated salvage value is $19,500.
The following numbers of units were produced over the next four years:

At the end of the 4th year, the total number of units produced exceeded expectations.
Note: Depreciation cannot drop below its estimated salvage value.
Determine the depreciation on the palletizer for each of the four years, as well as the combined total for all four years. Use two of the following three methods of depreciation. For distinguished performance, use all three methods. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
• Straight-line

 Purchase cost - estimated salvage value = depreciable asset cost
? $195,000 - $19,500 = $175,500

1/year of useful life = % depreciation rate per year
? 1/5 = 20%

 % depreciation rate x depreciable asset cost = annual depreciation
? 20% x $175,500 = $35,100 annual depreciation

• Units-of-production.

 Asset Cost - Salvage Value = Depreciable Base
? $195,000 - $19,500 = $175,500

 Depreciable Base / Total Units = Depreciation per Unit
? $175,500 / 480,000 = $0.3656

 Depreciation per Unit x Number of Units Produced in a Period = Depreciation per Period
? $0.3656 x 121,000 = $44,237.60 year 1
? $0.3656 x 119,500 = $43,689.20 year 2
? $0.3656 x 122,600 = $44,822.56 year 3
? $0.3656 x 123,000 = $44,968.80 year 4
• Double-declining-balance.
