If machine hours are selected as a method of depreciation, which of the following statements is true? A. ADS applied, B. MACRS applies, C. Salvage value in excess of 10% of cost must reduce the depreciable basis. D. Salvage value is always disregarded
Homework Answers
Ans D SALVAGE VALUE IS ALWAYS DISREGARDED
Under this method, hourly rate of depreciation is calculated. The cost of the asset (less residual value if any) is divided by the estimated working hours. The actual depreciate for any given period depends upon the working hours during that year.
Depreciation per hour = Original cost of machine – Scrap Value, if any/ Estimated life of the machine in hours.
The special feature is that the life of the machine is found out not in years but in hours.
MACRS, or Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, is currently the method the IRS has approved for companies wanting to accelerate depreciation on business equipment. MACRS includes an asset classification system which shows the number of years of depreciation for each type of asset.
MACRS includes two depreciation systems, the General Depreciation System (GDS) and the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS). These two systems provide different methods and recovery periods for calculating depreciation deductions.
Businesses generally use the General Depreciation System unless they are required to use the Alternative Depreciation System.
The General Depreciation System uses what's called a "declining balance" system of applying depreciation each year. That is, depreciation expense each year is based on the initial cost minus accumulated depreciation from all previous years.
How Does Alternative Depreciation Work?
The ADS system sets depreciation as an equal amount each year, except for the first and last year (because they might not be a full twelve months).

Calculate the annual Straight Line depreciation charge for a asset with a cost basis of $12,000, a depreciable life of 10 years, and a Salvage value of $2,000. If you believe the useful life of an asset will be 10 years, the Bonus Depreciation method allows for 100% depreciation in year 1, and the MACRS method indicates the depreciable life is 7 years, what is the useful life you should use in capital recovery economic analysis?

6. Depreciation methods Firms can use various methods to calculate depreciation, and it is important for you to consider these different methods when evaluating firms. The impact of different depreciation methods is stronger for asset-intensive firms. Major factors that affect the depreciation of a fixed asset include the purchase cost, residual/salvage value, and estimated useful life of the asset. The purchase cost includes the asset's explicit cost plus necessary costs associated with setting up and operating the asset (such as...
