On January 1, Truesdale, Inc., purchased a piece of machinery for use in operations. The total acquisition cost was $33,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 3 years and a salvage value of $3,000. Using the straight-line method, the amount of depreciation that should be recorded during year 1, is approximately
$10,000 Annual depreciation = (Cost of $33,000 − Salvage value of $3,000) ÷ Useful life of 3 years = $10,000.
Worthington, Inc., paid $90,000 to acquire land, land improvements, and a building. The company obtained two appraisals: The land was appraised at $30,000, the land improvements were appraised at $10,000, and the building was appraised at $60,000. The allocation of the cost of the purchase result in cost figures of
$27,000 for the land, $9,000 for the land improvements, and $54,000 for the building Knowledge Check 01 The apportionment of the lump-sum cost should be performed as follows: Land: $90,000 × ($30,000 / ($30,000 + $10,000 + $60,000)) = $27,000 Land improvements: $90,000 × ($10,000 / ($30,000 + $10,000 + $60,000)) = $9,000 Building: $90,000 × ($60,000 / ($30,000 + $10,000 + $60,000)) = $54,000

On January 1, 2019, Truesdale, Inc., purchased a piece of machinery for use in operations. The total acquisition cost was $33,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 3 years and a salvage value of $3,000.Using the straight-line method, the book value of the machinery at December 31, 2020, is approximately multiple choice $13,000 $10,000 $11,000 $30,000
13,000 Book value at December 31, 2020 = Cost of $33,000 − Accumulated depreciation of $20,000 (or $10,000 for 2019 + $10,000 for 2020) = $13,000.
On January 1, 2019, Truesdale, Inc., purchased a piece of machinery for use in operations. The total acquisition cost was $33,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 3 years and a salvage value of $3,000.Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation for 2019 is approximately multiple choice $10,000 $11,000 $20,000 $22,000
22,000 Straight-line rate = 100% ÷ useful life of 3 years = 1/3 Double-declining rate = Straight-line rate of 1/3 × 2 = 2/3 2019 Depreciation = Starting book value of $33,000 (or cost of $33,000 − Accumulated depreciation of $0) × rate of 2/3 = $22,000.
On January 1, 2019, Truesdale, Inc., purchased a piece of machinery for use in operations. The total acquisition cost was $33,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 3 years and a salvage value of $3,000.Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation for 2021 is approximately multiple choice $3,667 $2,445 $3,000 $667
667 Straight-line rate = 100% ÷ useful life of 3 years = 1/3 Double-declining rate = Straight-line rate of 1/3 × 2 = 2/3 2019 Depreciation = Starting book value of $33,000 (or cost of $33,000) × rate of 2/3 = $22,000 Book value at 12/31/19 = Cost of $33,000 − Accumulated depreciation of $22,000 = $11,000 2020 Depreciation = Book value at 12/31/19 of $11,000 × rate of 2/3 = $7,333 Book value at 12/31/20 = (Cost of $33,000 − Accumulated depreciation of $29,333 (or $22,000 + $7,333) = $3,667 2021 Depreciation = Book value at 12/31/20 of $3,667 × rate of 2/3 = $2,445; however, recording this amount of depreciation expense in 2021 would cause the book value to drop below the salvage value, so record only $667 (or 12/31/21 book value of $3,667 − salvage value of $3,000) of depreciation expense.
On January 1, 2018, Truesdale, Inc., purchased a piece of machinery for use in operations. The total acquisition cost was $33,000.

The machine has a salvage value of $3,000.Using the units-of-production method, the amount of depreciation that should be recorded during 2018, is approximately multiple choice $8,000 $10,000 $8,800 $11,000
8,000 Depreciation per unit = (Cost of $33,000 − Salvage value of $3,000) ÷ Total number of units expected to be produced of 60,000 = $0.50 per unit Depreciation for 2018 = Units produced in the period of 16,000 × Depreciation per unit of $0.50 = $8,000
