On october 1, 2021, the allegheny corporation purchased equipment for $191,000. the estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $4,000. the equipment is expected to produce 340,000 units during its life. required: calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods. partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.

a). Partial-year depreciation for 2021 is $4,675

b). Partial-year depreciation for 2022 is $18,700

Explanation:

The final value of the equipment after 10 years=$4,000

Depreciation=Initial purchase value-residual value after 10 years

where;

Initial purchase value=$191,000

Value after 10 years=residual value=$4,000

Replacing;

Depreciation=(191,000-4,000)=187,000

In 10 years the equipment will have depreciated by $187,000

Average depreciation per year=Depreciation/service life

Average depreciation per year=(187,000/10)=$18,700

Partial-year depreciation for;

2021

Service life is from October-December=3 months service life

Partial-year depreciation=(3/12)×18,700=$4,675

Partial-year depreciation for 2021 is $4,675

2022

Service life is for the whole year=12 months service life

Partial-year depreciation=(12/12)×18,700=$18,700

Partial-year depreciation for 2022 is $18,700

the answer is: guns or butter
