Question

Can you please provide step by step instructions?

On January 1, 20ff, Bourgeois Company purchased the following two machines for use in its production process. Machine A: The cash price of this machine was $58,000. Related expenditures included: sales tax $2,750, shipping costs $100, insurance during shipping $75, installation and testing costs $75, and $90 of oil and lubricants to be used with the machinery during its first year of operation. Dill estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a $5,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. Machine B: The recorded cost of this machine was $120,000.Dill estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a $10,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. Instructions Prepare the following for machine A. The journal entry to record its purchase on January 1, 2017. The journal entry to record annual depreciation at December 31, 2017, assuming the straight-line method of depreciation is used. Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Bourgeois should record for Machine B each year of its useful life under the following assumption. Bourgeois uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Bourgeois uses the declining-balance method. The rate used is twice the straight-line rate. Bourgeois uses the units-of-activity method and estimates the useful life of the machine is 25,000 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2017, 5,500 units; 2018, 7,000 units; 2019, 8,000 units; 2020, 4,500 units. Which method used to calculate depreciation on Machine B reports the lowest amount of depreciation expense in year 1 (2017)? The lowest amount in year 4 (2020)7 The lowest total amount over the 4-year period?

Answer 1

	Date	Description	Debit	Credit
(a) - (1)	Jan 1	Equipment	$61,000
		Cash		$61,000
		($58,000 + $2,750 + $100 + $75 + $75)
(a) - (2)	Dec 31	Depreciation Expenses	$14,000
		Accumulated Depreciation		$14,000
		($61,000 - $5,000)/4
(b)
1	Straight-line
	Year	Book Value year start	Depreciation Life	Depreciation Exp.	Acc. Dep	Book Value year-end
	1	$120,000	4	$27,500	$27,500	$92,500
	2	$92,500	4	$27,500	$55,000	$65,000
	3	$65,000	4	$27,500	$82,500	$37,500
	4	$37,500	4	$27,500	$110,000	$10,000
	Depreciation per year = ($120,000 - $10,000)/4 = $27,500
2	Double declining balance method
	Year	Book Value year start	Depreciation Rate	Depreciation Exp.	Acc. Dep	Book Value year-end
	1	$120,000	50.00%	$60,000	$60,000	$60,000
	2	$60,000	50.00%	$30,000	$90,000	$30,000
	3	$30,000	50.00%	$15,000	$105,000	$15,000
	4	$15,000	33.33%	$5,000	$110,000	$10,000
3	Units of activity
	Year	Book Value year start	units of activity	Depreciation Exp.	Acc. Dep	Book Value year-end
	1	$120,000	5,500	$24,200	$24,200	$95,800
	2	$95,800	7,000	$30,800	$55,000	$65,000
	3	$65,000	8,000	$35,200	$90,200	$29,800
	4	$29,800	4,500	$19,800	$110,000	$10,000
			25,000
	Depreciation per units = ($120,000 - $10,000)/25,000 = $4.40 per hour
(c)	Units of activity
	Double declining balance method
