Compute South Bend Airlines's first-year depreciation expense on the plane using the units-of-production method. Before calculating the first-year depreciation expense on the plane using the units-of-production method, calculate the depreciation expense per unit. Select the formula, then enter the amounts and calculate the depreciation per unit. = Depreciation per unit Now, select the formula, enter the amounts, and calculate the company's first-year depreciation expense on the plane using the units-of-production method. Units-of-production depreciation Requirement 1c. Compute South Bend Airlines's first-year depreciation experse on the plane using the double-declining balance method Begn by selecting the formula to calculate the company's first-year depreciation expense on the plane using double-declining-balance method. Then enter the amounts and calculate the depreciation expense for the first year. (Enter 'O' for items with a zero value.) Double-declining balance depreciation ) Requirement 2. Show the airplane's book value at the end of the first year for all three methode Straight-Line Units-of-production Double-declining-balance Cost Less: Accumulated Depreciation Book Value Choose from any list or enter any number in the input fields and then continue to the next question. ?

Answer 1

Requirement 1a
Straight line method.
Depreciation per year = (Purchase cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life
		(5,36,00,000 - 56,00,000)/4
		1,20,00,000
Requirement 1b
Units of production method
Depreciation per miles = (Purchase cost - Salvage Value)/Expected miles over the period
		(5,36,00,000 - 56,00,000)/60,00,000
		$ 8
First year depreciation = 1,100,000 miles * $ 8 =	88,00,000
Requirement 1C
Cost = 53,600,000
Useful life = 4 years
SLM Rate = 25%
double declining rate = 50%
Ist year depreciation = 5,36,00,000 * 50%
		2,68,00,000
Requirement 2
end of period
Method		SLM	Units of pro	Double declining
Cost		5,36,00,000	5,36,00,000	5,36,00,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation	1,20,00,000	88,00,000	2,68,00,000
Book Value		4,16,00,000	4,48,00,000	2,68,00,000
