Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $360,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 14,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $10,000. Compute the depreciation for the first and second years of use by each of the following methods:

Equipment with a cost of $160,000, an estimated residual value of $40,000, and an estimated life of 15 years was depreciated by the straight-line method for 4 years. Due to obsolescence, it was determined that the useful life should be shortened by 3 years and the residual value changed to zero. The depreciation expense for the current and future years is

A capital lease is accounted for as if the asset has been purchased.

On the first day of the fiscal year, a new walk-in cooler with a list price of $58,000 was acquired in exchange for an old cooler and $44,000 cash.

Machinery is purchased on July 1 of the current fiscal year for $240,000. It is expected to have a useful life of 4 years, or 25,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $15,000.

Golden Sales has bought $135,000 in fixed assets on January 1st associated with sales equipment. The residual value of these assets is estimated at $10,000 after they service their 4 year service life. Golden Sales managers want to evaluate the options of depreciation. (a) Compute the annual straight-line depreciation and provide the sample depreciation journal entry to be posted at the end of each of the years. (b) Write the journal entries for each year of the service life for these assets using the double- declining balance method.

A copy machine acquired on March 1, 2011 with a cost of $1,410 has an estimated useful life of 3 years. Assuming that it will have a residual value of $150, determine the depreciation for the first and second year by the straight-line method.
