- On January 2, 2016, the Jackson Company purchased equipment to be used in its manufacturing process. The equipment has an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $30,625. The expenditures made to acquire the asset were as follows: Purchase price $154,000 Freight charges 2,000 Installation charges 4,000 Jackson’s policy is to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation in the early years of the equipment’s life and then switch to straight line halfway through the equipment’s life. Required: 1. Calculate depreciation for each year of the asset’s eight-year life. 2. Discuss the accounting treatment of the depreciation on the equipment.arrow_forwardThe Peridot Company purchased machinery on January 2, 2014, for $800,000. A five-year life was estimated and no residual value was anticipated. Peridot decided to use the straight-line depreciation method and recorded $160,000 in depreciation in 2014 and 2015. Early in 2016, the company revised the total estimated life of the machinery to eight years. Required: 1. What type of change is this? 2. Briefly describe the accounting treatment for this change. 3. Determine depreciation for 2016.arrow_forwardRottino Company purchased a new cutting machine on January 1, 2017, at $17,000, paid in cash. It has been depreciated using the double-declining-balance method based on an estimated salvage value of $0 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. Prepare Rottino Company's journal entries to record the disposal of the machine on October 31, 2018, in these two independent situations (show your calculations to prove the result): Requirement: (i) Sold the machine for $7.600 cash. (ii) Exchange the old cutting machine with cash of $1,000 for a new cutting machine. The old machine had a fair value of $7,000.arrow_forward
