Question

Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $85,400. The machine's useful life is estimated at 20 years, or 402,000 units of product, with a $5,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 34,200 units of product. Determine the machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method.

Answer 1

The machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method is $4020 and $77,360 respectively.

The straight line depreciation method is used by companies to calculate amortization and depreciation. It is good method to determine the loss of value of an asset over a given period.  

Further Explanation

You can calculate straight line depreciation by subtracting assets cost from expected salvage value and then divide the derived value by the expected number of years to be used.

This can be expressed as:

Initial cost – salvage value / useful life

From the given question,  

• Initial cost = $85,400
• Salvage value = $5000
• Useful life = 20

If you substitute the values into the equation, then you have:

$85,400 - $5000 / 20

= $80400 / 20

= $4020

To determine the book value for the second year, then you should subtract the initial value from the derived value when you multiply the years (2) and the depreciation.

This can be expressed as:

Book value = Initial value - (years x depreciation)

= $85,400 - (2 x $4020)

= $77,360

Thus, the machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method is $4020 and $77,360 respectively.

Answer 2

The machine’s second-year depreciation is $4,020 and the book value is $77,360.

The straight line depreciation method is used to determine the loss of value of an asset over a given period.

• The formulae for straight line depreciation is [(Initial cost - Salvage value) / Useful life]

Given question,  

Initial cost = $85,400

Salvage value = $5000

Useful life = 20

Depreciation Expenses = [$85,400 - $5000 / 20]

Depreciation Expenses = $80400 / 20

Depreciation Expenses = $4,020

We have to subtract the initial value from the derived value when you multiply the years (2) and the depreciation to derive the Book value

• The formulae for Book value is [Initial value - (Years x Depreciation)]

Book value = $85,400 - (2 x $4020)

Book value = $85,400 - $8,040

Book value = $77,360
