In recent years, Avery Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information conserning the buses is summarized as follow.
Bus Acquired cost salvage Value Useful Life in Years Depreciation Method
1 1/1/12 $99,100 $7,900 4 Strait-line
2 1/1/12 128,000 11,000 4 Declining- balance
3 1/1/13 66,350 8,800 5 Unit-of-activity
For the declining -balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. for the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 115,100. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were: 2013, 23,400; 2014, 32,700; and 2015, 31,900. For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.(Round answer to 2 decimal places,e.g.$0.50.).
Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus at December 31, 2014 (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $2,125.).

Answer:

1. For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method

Depreciation expense per mile = ((Cost of bus - Salvage value) / Total miles)

= ($66,350 - $8,800) / 115,100 miles  

= $0.5 per mile

The depreciation expense per mile is $0.5 per mile.

2. BUS 1

Depreciation for 1 year = (Cost of assets - Residual value) / Useful life

= $99,100−$7,900 / 4 years

= $22,800

Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation for 1 year * 3 years (from 2012 to 2014)

= $22,800 * 3 years

= $68,400

BUS 2

Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%

Years     Annual Depreciation                                    Accum. depreciation  

2012      $64,000(128,000*50%)                                      $64,000

2013      $32,000(128,000-64,000)*50%                         $96,000

2014       $16,000(128,000-64,000-32,000)*50%           $112,000

BUS 3

Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation expense per mile  * Total miles of 2013 and 2014

= $0.50 * (23,400 miles +32,700 miles)

= $0.50 * 56,100 miles

= $28,050

3. Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%

Years     Depreciation   Calculation  

2012      $48,000           128,000*50%*9/12

2013      $40,000           128,000-40,000*50%

So, the depreciation expense for Bus 2 for 2012 and 2013 is $48,000 and $40,000

Answer 1:

The depreciation expense per mile under units of activity method of Bus=3 :

  • Depreciation Expense per mile = ((Cost of bus - Salvage value) / Total miles)  
  • Depreciation Expense per mile = ($66,350 - $8,800) / 115,100 miles    
  • Depreciation Expense per mile= $0.5 per mile

Answer 2:  The amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus on December 31, 2014 :

  • BUS 1

Depreciation for 1 year = (Cost of assets - Residual value) / Useful life

Depreciation for 1 year = $99,100−$7,900 / 4 years

Depreciation for 1 year = $22,800

Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation for 1 year * 3 years (from 2012 to 2014)

Accumulated Depreciation = $22,800 * 3 years

Accumulated Depreciation= $68,400

  • BUS 2

Years     Annual Depreciation                                    Accum. Depreciation  

2012      $64,000(128,000*50%)                                      $64,000

2013      $32,000(128,000-64,000)*50%                         $96,000

2014       $16,000(128,000-64,000-32,000)*50%           $112,000

Note : Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%

  • BUS 3

Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation expense per mile  * Total miles of 2013 and 2014

Accumulated depreciation= $0.50 * (23,400 miles +32,700 miles)

Accumulated depreciation= $0.50 * 56,100 miles

Accumulated depreciation= $28,050

Answer 3:  The depreciation expense for this bus in 2012 and 2013:

Years     Depreciation   Calculation  

2012     $48,000           128,000*50%*9/12

2013     $40,000           128,000-40,000*50%

Note : Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%

Thus, the depreciation expense for Bus 2 for 2012 is $48,000  and 2013 is $40,000.
