Gates co. purchased machinery on january 2, 2005, for $440,000. the straight-line method is used and useful life is estimated to be 10 years, with a $40,000 residual value.
at the beginning of 2011 gates spent $96,000 to overhaul the machinery. after the overhaul, gates estimated that the useful life would be extended 4 years (14 years total), and the residual value would be $20,000.

the depreciation expense for 2011 should be:

a. $28,250.

b. $34,500.

c. $40,000.

d. $37,000.

b. $34,500

Explanation:

For computing the depreciation expense for 2011, first we have to do the following calculations which are shown below:

Depreciation expense under Straight-line method would be

= (Purchase value of machinery - residual value) ÷ (estimated useful life)

= ($440,000 - $40,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $400,000 ÷ 10 years

= $40,000

From January 2, 2005 to the beginning of 2011, it have 6 years so the accumulated depreciation would be

= $40,000 × 6 years

= $240,000

And, the book value would be

= Purchase value of machinery - accumulated depreciation

= $440,000 - $240,000

= $200,000

Now the depreciation expense for 2011 would be

= (Book value + spent amount - salvage value) ÷ (remaining life)

= ($200,000 + $96,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $276,000 ÷ 8 years

= $34,500

Total years is 14 and the accumulated depreciation year is 6 years so , the remaining year would be 8 years

the most important factor in the

work process or industry is to retain the interest of the employee. and to

retain them, their salary or profit must be adjusted to the best value. unless

the employee does not do his job properly, employees must receive bonuses or

benefits to ensure them to stay in the company. it will actually make them stay

longer, make them feel important and reduce costs for hiring new employees.
