question
Grimwood Trucking purchased a tractor trailer for $171,500. Grimwood uses the units-of-activity method for depreciating its trucks and expects to drive the truck 1,000,000 miles over its 12-year useful life. Salvage value is estimated to be $24,500. If the truck is driven 90,000 miles in its first year, how much depreciation expense should Grimwood record? $15,435 $13,230 $14,292 $12,250
answer
$13,230 ($171,500 - $24,500) ÷ $1,000,000 = $.147; $90,000 × $.147 = $13,230
question
On January 1st 2017, AC Company bought a machine at $35,000. It has a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $5,000 at the end of the fifth year. It is expected to operate 9,000 hours. During 2017, the machine was used for 3,000 hours. Among the three different depreciation method, straight-line, units-of-activity and double declining-balance, which one will produce the lowest Asset Account Balance at the end of 2017? Units-of-Activity Method All of them will produce the same result. Double Declining-balance Method Straight-line Method
answer
Double Declining-balance Method First, we need to calculate the depreciation expense under the three methods. Straight-line: ($35,000 - $5,000)/5 = $6,000 Units-of-Activity: ($35,000 - $5,000) x (3,000/9,000) = $10,000 Double Declining-balance: $35,000 x 1/5 x 2 = $14,000 When depreciation expense is recorded, we will debit depreciation expense and credit accumulated depreciation. Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset account, so the method that generates the highest depreciation expense will produce the lowest Asset account balance.

question
Which of the following statements is not correct? Double-declining-balance depreciation method is most frequently used depreciation method in businesses today Units-of-activity is an appropriate depreciation method to use when the productivity of the asset varies significantly from one period to another. The calculation of depreciation using the declining balance method ignores salvage value in determining the amount to which a constant rate is applied. The depreciation method that applies a constant percentage to depreciable cost in calculating depreciation is straight-line.

question
A factory machine was purchased for $375,000 on January 1, 2015. It was estimated that it would have a $75,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 40,000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 4,000 actual hours in 2015. If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2015 would be $30,000. $75,000. $37,500. $60,000.
answer
$30,000. [($375,000 - $75,000) ÷ 40,000] × 4,000 = $30,000
