| PROBLEM 1 - Comparing three depreciation methods |
|
|
|
| (Obj. 2) |
|
| Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $72,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, |
|
| or 18,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $4,500. The equipment was used for 7,600 hours during Year 1, 6,000 hours in Year 2, |
|
| and 4,t00 hours in Year 3. |
|
| Instructions |
|
| 1 |
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ending December 31, by (a) the straight-lin method, (b) the units-of-activity |
|
|
| method, and '(c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. |
