Question 1

Double declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation calculation used in accounting.In this method depreciation is calculated as :

Depreciation = 2× straight line depreciation percentage × book value of asset at the beginning of each period

Here straight line depreciation percentage is calculated as 100 ÷ estimated useful life.

= 100÷ 20 = 5 %

Book value on 1st January 2016 = 33000

Depreciation for 2016 = 33000×2×5%

= 3300

Book value on 1st January 2017 = 33000-3300

= 29700

Depreciation for 2017. = 29700×2×5%

= 2970

Accumulated depreciation on 31st December 2017

= 3300+2970

= $ 6270

Question 2

The purchase consideration paid for acquiring the building are:

$21900 in cash

11900 shares of $10 par value common stock

The market price of stock on exchange date is provided as $20.Therefore;

Total amount of shares = 11900×20

= 238000

Par value of shares = 11900×10

= 119000

Additional paid in capital = Issue price - par value

= 238000-119000

= 119000

Therefore the value of building = 238000+21900

= $259900

The journal entry for the corresponding transaction is :

Building 259900  
Cash   21900
Common stock   119000
Additional paid in capital   119000

Question 3

Cost of machine = 42400

Add : Transportation and installation

expense. = 2200

Total cost. = 44600

Useful life = 6 years

Residual value = 6200

Depreciation for each year = (44600-6200)÷6

= 6400

Accumulated depreciation on 31 December 2018

= 6400×3

= 19200

Book value on 31st December 2016 = 44600-6400

= 38200

Book value on 31st December 2017 = 44600-(6400×2)

= 31800
