A company purchased a computer on August 1, 200X for $35,000, with a useful life of four
years and a salvage value of $1,500. It is being evaluated between depr according to the
method of units produced based on hours of use, estimating that the useful life is 19,500
hours or whether the straight line method should be used.
The record of hours of use for the first years is: year 200X ÷ 1 830 hours, year 200X+1 ÷ 4
350 hours, year 200X+2 ÷ 4 400 hours, year 200X+3 ÷ 3 900 hours, year 200X+4 ÷ 4 150

depreciation is d as a result $48 999.97
Subsection C
To calculate the book value of the premises, the following formula is used:
Cost - accumulated depreciation = book value
It is requested:
a) Calculate the cost of the machine and register your purchase
b) Calculate and record the first year's depreciation expense

Record the payment of the debt incurred for the purchase of the machine when the term
expires.
Procedure:
Operation:
70,000 + 800 + 2,000 = $72,800 (cost of machine value)
Operation:
72,800 - 1,500 / 8 = $8,912.5 annual depreciation expense
It is registered as follows:

c) Calculate the annual depreciation expense if the useful life were 10 years. To calculate
the depreciation expense, the straight line method will be used.
Operation:
72,800 - 1,500 / 10 = $7,130 annual depreciation expense
d) Calculate the annual depreciation expense if the salvage value were $3,000 and the
straight-line method will be used to calculate the depreciation expense.
