Asset	Acquisition Date	Cost	Estimated Life	Estimated Residual value	Depreciation Method	Monthly Depreciation Expense
Canoes	Nov. 3, 2018	\(4,800	4 Years	\) 0	SL	$100
Land	Dec 1, 2018	85,000			n/a
Building	Dec 1, 2018	35,000	5 Years	5,000	SL	500
Canoes	Dec 2, 2018	7,200	4 Years	0	SL	150
Computer	Mar. 2, 2019	3,600	3 Years	300	DDB
Office Furniture	MAR. 3, 2019	3,000	5 Years	600	SL

*SL = Straight@line; DDB = Double@declining@balance

Requirements

1. Calculate the amount of monthly depreciation expense for the computer andoffice furniture for 2019.

2. For each asset, determine the book value as of December 31, 2018. Then, calculatethe depreciation expense for the first six months of 2019 and the book valueas of June 30, 2019.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Depreciation

Depreciation refers to theexpense charged to the income statement yearly due to a decline in the value of the fixed asset.

02

Monthly depreciation expense for computer and office equipment

Calculation of depreciation on computer by double declining method

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Depreciation\hspace{0.17em}rate}=\frac{100\%}{3}\times 2\\ =66.67\%\end{array}$

The depreciation rate is 66.67%

$\begin{array}{c}MonthlyDepreciationexpenseforcomputer=Cost\times Depreciationrate\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$3,600\times 66.67\%\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$200\end{array}$

Calculation of depreciation on office furniture by straight line method

$\begin{array}{c}MonthlyDepreciationexpenseforofficefurniture=\frac{Cost-ResidualValue}{EstimatedLife}\times \frac{1}{No.ofmonthsinyear}\\ =\frac{\$3,000-\$600}{5}\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$40\end{array}$
