The straight-line method of depreciation is a commonly used method to allocate the cost of an asset evenly over its useful life. In this case, the company purchased a vehicle for $6000 and expects to use it for 5 years, with a residual value of $1000 at the end of its useful life. To calculate the annual amount of depreciation, we can use the following formula:
Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life
Let's break down the calculation:
Cost of the vehicle = $6000
Residual value = $1000
Useful life = 5 years
Using the formula, we can calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual Depreciation = ($6000 - $1000) / 5
= $5000 / 5
= $1000
Therefore, the annual amount of depreciation using the straight-line method is $1000.
Explanation:
- The straight-line method of depreciation evenly distributes the cost of an asset over its useful life.
- The formula for calculating annual depreciation using the straight-line method is (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life.
- In this case, the cost of the vehicle is $6000, the residual value is $1000, and the useful life is 5 years.
- Plugging these values into the formula, we get ($6000 - $1000) / 5 = $1000.
- This means that the company can expect to depreciate $1000 of the vehicle's value each year for 5 years.
- The residual value of $1000 represents the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of its useful life, after 5 years.
- By subtracting the residual value from the cost and dividing by the useful life, we can determine the annual depreciation amount.
- The answer is option 'A', $1000.
