Answer:
In the first year 2019, the depreciation expense would be $20,000.
From 2020 to 2023, the depreciation expense would be $40,000 and then $20,000 in 2024.
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.
It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset
Mathematically,
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life
Annual depreciation
= $200,000/5
= $40,000
In the first year 2019, the depreciation expense would be
= 1/2 * $40,000
= $20,000
From 2020 to 2023, the depreciation expense would be $40,000 and then $20,000 in 2024
Answer:
The depreciation expense during the entire useful life of the asset is simply the same as the cost of the asset, which is $200,000. This is because there was no salvage value. The following journals apply:
Debit Depreciation expense $200,000
Credit Accumulated depreciation $200,000
(To record accumulated depreciation for the entire life of the asset)
Explanation:
There are varying methods of calculating depreciation expense like straight-line, double-declining or the unit-of-production method. The most commonly used is the straight-line method. Under this method, depreciation is an allocation of the cost of an asset over its estimated useful life and it is expressed with this formula: (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($200,000 - 0) / 5 years = $40,000 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 5 years is $40,000 x 5 years $200,000.
So, the net book value (NBV) of the asset (expressed as Cost - Accumulated depreciation) is $200,000 - $200,000 = $0.
