Calculation of Depreciation:
The company charges depreciation at a rate of 20% on the diminishing (written down) value method. This means that the depreciation expense is calculated based on the net book value of the machinery at the beginning of each accounting period.
Depreciation for the Machinery purchased in 2014:
The machinery purchased in 2014 for $100,000 has been in use for 2 years before it was sold on December 31, 2016. To calculate the depreciation expense for each year, we need to determine the net book value at the beginning of each year.
Year 1:
Net Book Value at the beginning = Cost of Machinery
Depreciation Expense = 20% * Net Book Value
Year 2:
Net Book Value at the beginning = Cost of Machinery - Depreciation Expense of Year 1
Depreciation Expense = 20% * Net Book Value
Depreciation for the Machinery purchased in 2015:
The machinery purchased in 2015 for $20,000 has been in use for 1 year before the end of the accounting period. The depreciation expense is calculated in the same way as for the machinery purchased in 2014.
Selling the Machinery purchased in 2014:
The machinery purchased in 2014 was sold on December 31, 2016, at a loss of $10,000. The loss on sale of an asset is calculated as the difference between the selling price and the net book value of the asset at the time of sale.
Calculation of Net Book Value at the time of Sale:
Net Book Value at the time of Sale = Cost of Machinery - Accumulated Depreciation
Calculation of Loss on Sale:
Loss on Sale = Selling Price - Net Book Value at the time of Sale
