Accounting

Problem 9-2A (Part Level Submission) In recent years, Skysong Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is shown as follows.Bus Acquired 1/1/17 1/1/17 1/1/18 1 Cost $ 95,800 130,000 83,660 Salvage Value $ 7,000 10,500 7,500 Useful Life in Years 5 4 Depreciation Method Straight-line Declining-balance Units-of-activity 2 3 5
For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 112,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2018, 24,500; 2019, 36,000; and 2020, 32,500. (al) Your answer is correct. For Bus #3, calculate depreciable cost per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.) Depreciable cost 0.68 per mile SHOW SOLUTION SHOW ANSWER LINK TO TEXT VIDEO: SIMILAR PROBLEM
(a2) Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus at December 31, 2019. (Round depreciable cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50 and depreciation rate to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%. Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.)

Depreciable base = 83660 - 7500 =

Depreciable cost per unit = 76160 / 112000 = 0.68

------------------------------------------------------------------

Accumulated dep for bus 1

= (95800 - 7000) / 5 = 17760

Accumulated depreciation till 31 dec 2019 = 17760 x 3 years = 53280

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Depreciation rate under double declining = 100/4 x 2 = 50%

2017 = 130000 x 50% = 65000

2018 = 65000 x 50% = 32500

2019 = 32500 x 50% = 16250

Accumulated depreciation till 31 dec 2019 = 65000 + 32500 + 16250 = 113750

-------------------------------------------------------------------

0.68 x 24500 = 16660

0.68 x 36000 = 24480

Accumulated depreciation till 31 dec 2019 = 16660 + 24480 = 41140
