On January 3, 2018, Rapid Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $100,000. Before placing the truck in service, Rapid spent $3,000 painting it, $600 replacing tires, and $10,400 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $12,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 32,000 miles in each of the first four years and 8,000 miles in the fifth year−136,000 miles in total, In deciding which depreciation method to use, Andy Sargeant, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
- Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense,
accumulated depreciation , and asset book value. - Rapid prepared financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. Consider the first year that Rapid uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company’s objectives.

The company uses the units-of-production (UOP) method to depreciate itstrucks.To follow are facts about one Mack truck in the company’s fleet. When this truck wasacquired in 2018, the tractor-trailer had cost $450,000 and was expected to remain in servicefor 10 years or 1,000,000 miles. Its estimated residual value was $20,000. During 2018, thetruck was driven 80,000 miles; during 2019, 175,000 miles; and during 2020, 185,000 miles.After the truck was driven 40,000 miles in 2021, the company traded in the Mack truck fora Freightliner truck with a fair market value of $250,000. In addition to the trade-in of theMack truck, Canyon paid cash of $30,000 for the Freightliner truck. Determine Canyon’s gainor loss on the transaction.

The van wasexpected to remain in service for four years (57,000 miles). At the end of its useful life, Limamanagement estimated that the van’s residual value would be $1,500. The van traveled 20,500miles the first year, 16,000 miles the second year, 15,400 miles the third year, and 5,100 milesin the fourth year.Requirements1. Prepare a schedule of depreciation expense per year for the van under the three depreciationmethods discussed in this chapter. (For units-of-production and double-declining-balancemethods, round to the nearest two decimal places after each step of the calculation.)2. Which method best tracks the wear and tear on the van?3. Which method would Lima prefer to use for income tax purposes?

The equipment was depreciated using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 9 years and an estimated residual value of $44,360. a. What was the depreciation for the first year? Round your answer to the nearest cent. b. Using the rounded amount from Part a in your computation, determine the gain(loss) on the sale of the equipment, assuming it was sold at the end of year eight for $102,987. Round your answer to the nearest cent and enter as a positive amount. c. Journalize the entry to record the sale. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

- IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, two flight simulators were purchased by a space camp for 77,000 each with a salvage value of 5,000 each and estimated useful lives of eight years. On January 1, 20-2, the hydraulic system for Simulator A was replaced for 6,000 cash and an updated computer for more advanced students was installed in Simulator B for 9,000 cash. The hydraulic system is expected to extend the life of Simulator A three years beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Simulators A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3.
