On January 1, year 1, Roark Corp. purchased equipment for $120,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000, and has a life of 1,000,000 hours.

What is the depreciation expense for year 2? $3,000 $6,000 $8,000 $5,000
$5,000 Reason: The depreciation rate per unit is ($120,000 - $20,000)/1,000,000 hours = $0.10 per machine hour. Year 2 depreciation is 50,000 hours x $0.10 = $5,000.

$60,000 Reason: 2 x 1/10 x $300,000 = $60,000 depreciation expense in year 1. Under the double declining balance method, residual value is not included in computing the annual depreciation. However, the asset's book value cannot be depreciated below residual value.

$70,000 Reason: $100,000/10 years = $10,000 depreciation per year. Historical cost of $100,000 less $30,000 depreciation (for 2018, 2019, and 2020) = $70,000.

The allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its service life is referred to as ________________________.
depreciation
Blake uses the activity-based depreciation method. Blake purchases equipment for $100,000 and expects to use the equipment for 40,000 machine hours. The machine has a residual value of $20,000. The depreciation rate is $3.00 per machine hour. $2.00 per machine hour. $2.50 per machine hour. $5.00 per machine hour.
$2.00 per machine hour. Reason: ($100,000 - 20,000)/40,000 machine hours = $2.00 per machine hour.
West Corp purchased a piece of equipment for $35,000 and depreciated it straight-line over an estimated service life of seven years with a residual value of $7,000. After two years, West estimates that the remaining service life of the equipment is four years and the residual value remains unchanged. Assuming that West continues to apply the straight-line method, depreciation recognized for each of the remaining years will be: $5,000 $6,250 $8,000 $4,000
$5,000 Reason: The asset has been depreciated $8,000 to date. (($35,000 - $7,000)/7) x 2 = $8,000. The new book value is $35,000 - $27,000 = $8,000. (($27,000 - $7,000)/4) = $5,000 per year
At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected service life of 10 years. What is straight-line depreciation for year 1? $8,000 $30,000 $28,000 $10,000
$8,000 Reason: ($100,000 - 20,000)/10 years = $8,000 per year

On January 1, 2018, Pritchett Corporation purchased equipment for $50,000. The equipment had a five-year life with a $10,000 residual value. Pritchett uses the straight-line depreciation method. What is the book value of the equipment on January 1, 2021? $30,000 $34,000 $26,000 $20,000
$26,000 Reason: Depreciation expense is ($50,000 - 10,000)/5 = $8,000 per year. $50,000 less accumulated depreciation of $24,000 = $26,000.
Monet Company purchased a patent with an estimated service life of ten years for $200,000 After three years of amortizing the patent using the straight-line method, Monet estimates that the remaining useful life is only 5 years.

$4,500 Reason: The depreciation rate per unit is ($160,000 - $10,000)/100,000 hours = $1.50 per machine hour. Year 2 depreciation is 3,000 hours x $1.50 = $4,500.
