Calculate Machine Depreciation With Straight Line And Double Declining Balance Methods
Question
Aussie Imports purchased a specialized piece of machinery for $50,000 on January 1, 20X3. At the time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a service life of 5 years (25,000 operating hours) and a residual value of $5,000. During the 5 years of operations (20X3 - 20X7), the machine was used for 5,100, 4,800, 3,200, 6,000, and 5,900 hours, respectively.
Instructions
a. Compute depreciation for 20X3 - 20X7 by using the following methods: straight line, units of output, and double-declining-balance.
b. On January 1, 20X5, management shortened the remaining service life of the machine to 20 months. Assuming use of the straight-line method, compute the company’s depreciation expense for 20X5.
c. Briefly describe what you would have done differently in part (a) if Aussie Imports had paid $47,800 for the machinery rather than $50,000. In addition, assume that the company incurred $800 of freight charges $1,400 for machine setup and testing, and $300 for insurance during the first year of use.

During my MBAs, Economics was never my strength. I often took help from HwA and they helped me get good grades. But eventually, as I was reading through a demand-supply analysis economics solution provided by them, I started to gain some interest. I chatted with the econ tutor of HwA for an hour and believe it or not, I fell in love with the subject.

I never learned how to analyze the results of a multi-variants regression test and ANOVA test before I approached HwA. The experts here are so helpful and cordial that they in simple language wrote the analysis report and helped me get good marks in my assignment. Since then I always approach HwA whenever I face difficulties with my assignments.

I was on the verge of failing my course when i found these guys. The tutors are excellent. They helped me improve my grade and pass the course with flying colors.

I was really stuck with my human structure assignments when I came across TheReliableTutor.com. To be honest, I was skeptical. Then I got an A in my cardiovascular systems assignment. That was the first work they did for me. From there it only got better. I am now thinking of doing my MSN and will definitely seek their help for that."

The precise and brief annotated bibliography submitted by the writing expert at HwA for my World Religion thesis paper was just what my professor had asked for. There was no problem in communication between the writing expert and me and the research work done was absolutely spot on.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
