Assume that on September 30, 2017, AirUS, an international airline based in Germany, purchased a Jumbo aircraft at a cost of euro 42,500,000 (euro is the symbol for the euro). AirUS expects the plane to remain useful for five years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of euro 4,250,000. AirUS will fly the plane 350 comma 000 miles during the remainder of 2017. Requried:
a. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the straight-line method.
b. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the units-of-production method.
c. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the double-declining method

A.7,650,000

B.2,677,500

C.17,000,000

Explanation:

DATA:

purchase cost = 42,500,000

Useful life = 5 years

Estimated useful life in miles = 5,000,000 miles

Salvage value = 4,250,000

Actual useful life in miles = 350,000miles

Solution

A. Depreciation (straight-line)=

   Depreciation( straight-line)=

   Depreciation( straight-line)= 7,650,000

B Depreciation (units of production)= (cost-Salvage value) x

  Depreciation (units of production)= (42,500,000-4,250,000)x

  Depreciation (units of production) = 2,677,500

C. Depreciation (Double declining) =  2 x cost x depreciation rate

   Depreciation (Double declining) = 2 x 42,500,000 x 0.2(w)

   Depreciation (Double declining) = 17,000,000

Working

Depreciation Rate = 1/Useful

Depeciation Rate = 1/ 05 = 0.2

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is ; ///are valued more highly than their cost;
