Prepare a depreciation schedule for four years using the activity-based method.

Respuesta :

The depreciation schedule for the machine is:

Year      Depreciation expense

1               $35175

2               $25,125

3               $25,125

4                 $40,200

What is the depreciation expense?

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

Year 1 = (2800 / 8000) x (134,000 - 33500) =$35175

Year 2 = (2000 / 8000) x (134,000 - 33500) =$25,125

Year 3 = (2000 / 8000) x (134,000 - 33500) =$25,125

Year 4 = (3200 / 8000) x (134,000 - 33500) = $40,200
