Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Under the Sum of year digits method
Sum of years is
= 10 × (10 + 1 ) ÷ 2 = 55.
Now
Depreciation for 2021 is
= (Orginal cost - salvage value) × (estimated service life ÷ sum of years)
= ($271,000 - $18,000) × (10 ÷ 55 )
= $46,000.
Depreciation for 2022 is
= (Orginal cost - salvage value) × (estimated service life ÷ sum of years)
= ($271,000 - $18,000 ) × (9 ÷ 55)
= $41,400
2. Under 150% declining balance.
Depreciation rate is
= 150 ÷ 10
= 15%.
Depreciation for 2021 is
= $271,000 × 15%
= $40,650.
Depreciation for 2022 is
= ($271,000 - $40,650) × 15%
= $34,553
3. If Asset acquired as on October 1st 2021, then
Under Sum of year digits.
Sum of years is
= 10 × (10 + 1) ÷ 2
= 55
Depreciation for 2021 is
= ($271,000 - $18,000 ) × (10 ÷ 55) × (3 ÷ 12)
= $11,500
In 2021 used the 3 ÷ 12 is used i.e 0.25 so, remaining is
= 10 - 0.25
= 9.75
Now
Depreciation for 2022 is
= ($271,000 - $18,000) × (9.75 ÷ 55)
= $44,850
Under 150% declining balance
Depreciation rate is
= 150 ÷ 10
= 15%.
Depreciation for 2021 is
= $271,000 × 15 % × (3 ÷ 12)
= $10,163.
Depreciation for 2022 is
= ($271,000 - $10,163) × 15%
= $39,126
