If you are the accountant of ABC Sport, please compute the annual depreciation expense for each year respectively. Required: (a)Using straight-line method. (b)Using double-declining-balance method (reducing balance method). (c)Using sum-of-the-years-digits method.

【正确答案】

【答案解析】(a) Annual depreciation expense = (＄200,000 -＄20,000)/5=36,000 Annual depreciation expense for each year equals with each other. (b) Double-declining-balance rate = Straight-line rate×2 = 40% depreciation expense for year 2003 = ＄200,000×40% = ＄80,000 depreciation expense for year 2004 = ＄120,000×40% = ＄48,000 depreciation expense for year 2005 = ＄72,000×40% = ＄28,800 depreciation expense for year 2006 = ＄43,200×40% = ＄17,280 depreciation expense for year 2007 = ＄25,920 -＄20,000 = ＄5,920 (c) Sum of the year's digits = 1+2+3+4+5= 15 depreciation expense for year 2003 = (＄200,000-＄20,000)×5/15 = ＄60,000 depreciation expense for year 2004 = (＄200,000-＄20,000)×4/15 = ＄48,000 depreciation expense for year 2005 = (＄200,000-＄20,000)×3/15 = ＄36,000 depreciation expense for year 2006 = (＄200,000-＄20,000)×2/15 = ＄24,000 depreciation expense for year 2007 = (＄200,000-＄20,000)×5/15 = ＄12,000
