Q.2Tullahoma Company purchased equipment for $27,500. It depreciated the equipment over a fiveyear life by the double-declining-balance method until the end of the second year, at which time the asset was sold for $8,500. Calculate the gain or loss on the sale at the end of the second year.

Answer:

A loss of $1400

Explanation:

The double-declining method uses twice the straight-line depreciation method rate in calculating the depreciation amount.

The asset has a useful life of 5 years. The straight-line depreciation rate = 1/5 x 100

=20%.

The double-declining rate will be 40%

The depreciation schedule for two years will be as follows.

Open. Bal Dep. rate Dep. Amount  Book value

$27,500  40%  $11,000   $16,500.00

$16,500  40%  $6,600             $9,900.00

The equipment was sold for $8,500

net gain or loss will be the selling price - book value

=$8,500 - $9,900

=- $1,400

A loss of $1400
