Question BE 10-4
Depreciation through straight line method
Straight depreciation = (38000-6000)/4 = $ 8000 per year
Question BE 10-6
Depreciation through double declining method
Straight line depreciation rate = 100 / 4 = 25%
Double decline rate = 2*25% = 50%
First year depreciation = $38000*50% = $19,000
Second year depreciation = $19000*50% = $9,500
Question BE 10-7
Depreciation rate = (39500-500)/150000 = 0.26 per mile
First year depreciation = $30000*0.26 = $7,800
Second year depreciation = $20000*0.26 = $5,200

Question E 10-6
(a) Depreciation expense for 2017 through straight line method
Annual depreciation = ($150,000 - $12,000)/5 = $27,600
Depreciation expense for 2017 = 27,600 * (3/12) = $6,900
(b) Depreciation for 2017 through units of activity method
Depreciation per hour = ($150,000 - $12,000)/10000 = $13.8 per hour
Depreciation for 2017 = 13.8 * 1700 = $23,460
(c) Depreciation for 2017 through double declining balance method
Depreciation expense for 2017
Straight line depreciation rate = 100 * (1/5) = 20%
Depreciation expense for first year [Oct’17 to Oct’18] = 2*20%*$150,000 = $60,000
Depreciation expense for first year [Oct’17 to Oct’18] = 2*20% *($150,000 -$60000) = $36,000
Hence,
Depreciation expense for 2017 =$60000 *(3/12) = $15,000
Depreciation expense for 2018
Depreciation expense [Jan’17 to Sept’18] = $60,000 *(9/12) = $45,000
Depreciation expense [Oct’18 to Dec’18] = $36000 * (3/12) = $9,000
