Question

At the beginning of 2017, Blue Spruce Corp. acquired equipment costing $83,600. It was estimated that this equipment would have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $8,360 at that time. The straight-line method of depreciation was considered the most appropriate to use with this type of equipment. Depreciation is to be recorded at the end of each year. During 2019 (the third year of the equipment's life), the company's engineers reconsidered their expectations and estimated that the equipment's useful life would probably be 7 years (in total) instead of 6 years. The estimated salvage value was not changed at that time. However, during 2022, the estimated salvage value was reduced to $5,000. Indicate how much depreciation expense should be recorded each year for this equipment, by completing the following table. Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Year $ 2017 $ 12540 12540 12540 25080 2018 2019 8360 33440 2020 8360 41800 2021 8360 50160 54937 2022 4777 2023 4777 59714 tA

Answer 1

Calculate following

	Depreciation expense	Accumulated depreciation
2017	12540	12540
2018	12540	25080
2019	(83600-25080-5000/5) = 10704	35784
2020	10704	46488
2021	10704	57192
2022	10704	67896
2023	10704	78600
