E11-5 (page 599) - Depreciation methods; solving for unknowns ? LO2

For each of the following depreciable assets, determine the missing amount (?). Abbreviations for depreciation methods are SL for straight line, SYD for sum-of-the-years' digits, and DDB for double-declining balance.

Exercise 11-5

Asset A:

Straight-line rate is 20% (1 5 years) x 2 40% DDB rate

24,000

60,000    Book value at the beginning of year 2

.40

Cost - (Cost x 40%) 60,000

Cost 100,000

Asset B:

Sum-of-the-years' digits is 36 {[8 (8 1)]2}

(40,000 - residual) x 7/36 7,000

280,000 - 7residual
