The most widely used depreciation method is

A machine with a cost of $120,000 has an estimated residual value of $15,000 and an estimated life of 5 years or 15,000 hours.It is to be depreciated by the units-of-output method.What is the amount of depreciation for the second full year,during which the machine was used 5,000 hours?

Revising depreciation estimates affects the amounts of depreciation expense recorded in past periods.

When a company discards machinery that is fully depreciated,this transaction would be recorded with the following entry

On December 31,Strike Company sold one of its batting cages for $55,000.The equipment had an initial cost of $310,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $260,000.Depreciation has been taken up to the end of the year.What is the amount of the gain or loss on this transaction?

A number of major structural repairs completed at the beginning of the current fiscal year at a cost of $1,000,000 are expected to extend the life of a building 10 years beyond the original estimate.The original cost of the building was $6,552,000,and it has been depreciated by the straight-line method for 25 years.Estimated residual value is negligible and has been ignored.The related accumulated depreciation account after the depreciation adjustment at the end of the preceding fiscal year is $4,550,000. a What has the amount of annual depreciation been in past years? b What was the original life estimate of the building? c To what account should the $1,000,000 be debited? d What is the book value of the building after the extraordinary repairs have been made? e What is the expected remaining life of the building after the extraordinary repairs have been made? f What is the amount of straight-line depreciation for the current year,assuming that the repairs were completed at the very beginning of the current year? Round to the nearest dollar.

Losses on the discarding of fixed assets are reported in the income statement.
