Respuesta :

Answer:

a. $28,400

b. $2,530

c. $23,340

Explanation:

a.

The acquisition cost of the machine is the sum of all the expenses that are necessary to put the machine in operation, which are calculated as:

Purchasing cost + Installation cost + Freight cost = 25,000 + 600 + 2,800 = $28,400

b.

Depreciation expenses in year one = (Acquisition cost - Residual value) / Useful life = (28,400-3,100)/10 = $2,530.

c.

Net book value of the machine in year 2 = Acquisition cost - Depreciation expenses in one year x 2 in which Depreciation expenses in one year x 2 = Depreciation in Year 1 x 2 because in Year 1, the depreciation expenses is calculated for full-year calendar.

Thus, Net book value of the machine in year 2 = 28,400 - 2,530 x 2 = 23,340.
