That is the answer i got but i did 5 years and i tjink i should have done 4 ....i just want to know is this correct or wrong before i turn it in

Answer 1

Correct Answer:

Your answer is completely correct.

You have correctly taken 5 years for the initial calculation for straight-line depreciation as the Equipment was purchased at the beginning of the year 2013, therefore from year 2013 to the year 2017 it will be depreciated 5 times,Each time at the end of every year.

31^st Dec 2103 – year 1

31^st Dec 2014 – year 2

31^st Dec 2015 – year 3

31^st Dec 2016 – year 4

31^st Dec 2017 –year 5

Therefore a period of 5 years will be completed.

End of answer.

Please give a thumbs-up, it will be highly appreciated.
