Depreciation Expense Calculation:

Depreciation Rate = 1 / Estimated Useful Life

Decipherable Rate = 0.25

or

Decipherable Rate = 25%

Double Declining Decipherable Rate = 2 x 25%

Double Declining Decipherable Rate = 50%

Depreciation Expense = Book Value x Double Declining Decipherable Rate

Depreciation Expense = $28,000 x 50%

Apr. 1, 2015

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation $1,750

To Record Depreciation Expense of Used Truck.

Accumulated Depreciation & Proceed from Sale Calculation:

Year 1:

Depreciation Expense = $14,000

Year 2 New Book Value = $28,000 - $14,000

Year 2 New Book Value = $14,000

3 Months in Year 2:

Pro Rated Depreciation Expense for Used Truck

= New Book Value x Rate x No. of months used/Total No. of months in year

= $14,000 x 50% x 3/12

= $1,750

Accumulated Depreciation = $14,000 + $1,750

Accumulated Depreciation = $15,750

Net Value of Used Truck = Book Value - Accumulated Depreciation

Net Value of Used Truck = $28,000 - $15,750

Net Value of Used Truck = $12,250

Gain on Sale of Used Truck = Sale Price - Net Value

Gain on Sale of Used Truck = $15,000 - $12,250

Gain on Sale of Used Truck = $2,750

Decipherable Rate = 0.20

or

Decipherable Rate = 20%

DDR = Double Declining Rate = 2 x 20%

DDR = Double Declining Rate = 40%

Depreciation Expense = Decipherable Asset Cost x Decipherable Rate

Depreciation Expense = $48,000 x 40%

Depreciation Expense = $19,200

9 Months in Year 2:

Pro Rated Depreciation Expense for Used Truck

= New Book Value x DDR x No. of months used / Total No. of months in year

= $28,800 x 40% x 9 / 12

= $8,640

Accumulated Depreciation = $19,200 + $8,640

Accumulated Depreciation = $27,840

Net Value of Used Truck = Book Value - Accumulated Depreciation

Net Value of Used Truck = $48,000 - $27,840

Net Value of Used Truck = $20,160

DDR = Double Declining Rate = 25%

Depreciation Expense = Book Vale x DDR

Depreciation Expense = $54,000 x 25%

Depreciation Expense = $13,500

New Book Value = $54,000 - $13,500

New Book Value = $40,500
