Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31, 2013, for equipment that was purchased at a cost of $43,000 on October 1, 2013. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $3,000 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.)

1) Straightline

2) Double-Declining-Balance

3) Units of Production

The depreciation amounts are needed for each of those 3 based on the information provided. Thanks!

1) Straightline   $ 2000

2) Double-Declining-Balance  $ 4000

3) Units of Production  $ 2000

Explanation:

Cost of equipment $43,000

Residual value of equipment  $3,000

Useful life of equipment 5 years

Formula:

1) Straight Line Method Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Method Depreciation = $43,000 -$3,000/5=$ 8000

The amount of depreciation using Straight Line Method Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2013, is

($ 8000/12)*3= $ 2000

The straight Line depreciation expense for 3 months is $ 2000

2) Straight Line Rate= 100%

Useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

Year     Book Value      Dep          Dep               Accu.       Book

                                      Rate         Expense      Dep.          Value

1           40,000             40              16000          16000         24000

Depreciation Expense for the whole year would be $ 16000.

Depreciation expense using double declining method for 3 months would be = ($ 16000/12 )*3= $ 4000

3) Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production

Depreciation per unit=  $43,000 -$3,000/20,000=40,000/20,000=2

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per unit * No of Units Produced

Depreciation Expense =  2*1000= $ 2000

Depreciation Expense using  Units of Production method would be $ 2000 for 3 months. i.e on 31st Oct 2013

due to the changes the federal reserve is making the unused reserves will impact the economy by them facing inflation. inflation is definfed as the increase in pricing of a good or service but the decline of the value of money used for purchasing those items. when the economy has a high inflation rate, they are subject to money loss and hurt on the economy.
