A company purchased an asset for $2,850,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33%, 44.45%, and 14.81%, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project? A) $211,185.B) $0.C) $633,270.D) $1,900,095.E) $2,638,815.

A) $211,185

Explanation:

The computation of the book value of the equipment at the end of the project is as follows;

Depreciation in Year 1 is

= Asset Price × 33.33%

= $2,850,000 × 33.33%

= $949,905

Depreciation in Year 2 is

= Asset Price × 44.45%

= $2,850,000 × 44.45%

= $1,266,825

And, Depreciation in Year 3 is

= Asset Price × 14.81%

= $2,850,000 × 14.81%

= $422,085

Now

Total Accumulated Depreciation is

= $949,905 + $1,266,825 + $422,085

= $2,638,815

And, finally  

Book Value of the equipment is

= $2,850,000 - $2,638,815

= $211,185

Therefore the correct option is a.
