Answer 1

Sol:

As per the question given details are as follows

COST OF ASSET		$ 12,000.00
DATE OF PURCHASE		01-01-21
SALVAGE VALUE		$    1,000.00
ESTIMATED LIFE		10 YEARS
ANNUAL DEPRECIATION	($ 12000- $ 1000)/10	$    1,100.00
ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION FOR 4 YEARS	$ 1100*4	$    4,400.00

SINCE 1-JAN-2025, THERE IS A CHANGE IN SALVAGE VALUE AND TOTAL LIFE OF EQUIPMENT, SO DEPRECIATION AMOUNT FOR THE YEAR 2025 WILL BE = (HISTORICAL COST- ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION)-SALVAGE VALUE/ REMAINING USEFUL LIFE

= (12000-4400)-1200/4

= $ 1600
