Each of the three companies earned $30,000 of cash revenue during each of the five years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation.
We first calculate the depreciation using Straight line (SL), double declining balance (DDB) and units of production
Cost= $54,000
Salvage Value= $4,000
Life= 5 years
Company A: Straight line:
Annual depreciation using SL= (Cost - Salvage Value) / Life= $10,000 =($54,000 - $4,000) / 5
Number of years Depreciation expense Book value at the end of the year Explanation
1 $10,000 $44,000 =$54,000 - $4,000
2 $10,000 $34,000 =$44,000 - $10,000
3 $10,000 $24,000 =$34,000 - $10,000
4 $10,000 $14,000 =$24,000 - $10,000
5 $10,000 $4,000 =$14,000 - ...
