3. Assume instead the equipment was purchased on October 1, 2021. Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the two methods. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service. (Do not round intermediate answers and round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

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
