D. $26,250 in 2014 and $35,000 in 2015.

($160,000 – $20,000)/4 = $35,000 × 9/12 = $26,250 for 2014 and $35,000 for 2015

 

 

 

82.Refer to the information above. Assume that in its financial statements, Victor uses straight-line depreciation and the half-year convention. Depreciation recognized on this equipment in 2014 and 2015 will be:

D. $20,000 in 2014 and $35,000 in 2015.

($160,000 – $20,000)/4 = $35,000/2 = $17,500 for 2014 and $35,000 for 2015

 

 

 

83.Refer to the information above. If Victor uses straight-line depreciation with the half-year convention, the book value of the equipment at December 31, 2015 will be:   

A. $90,000.

 

B. $107,500.

 

C. $106,667.

 

D. $105,000.

$160,000 – $17,500 – $35,000 = $107,500

 

 

 

On April 30, 2014, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, with an $8,000 residual value.

 

84.Refer to the information above. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses straight-line depreciation and the half-year convention. Depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2014 and 2015 will be:   

A. $7,500 in 2014 and $11,000 in 2015.

 

B. $6,000 in 2014 and $12,000 in 2015.

 

C. $5,000 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2015.

 

D. $5,500 in 2014 and $11,000 in 2015.

($88,000 – $8,000)/8 = $10,000/2 = $5,000 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2015

 

 

 

85.Refer to the information above. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses straight-line depreciation and rounds depreciation for fractional years to the nearest month. Depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2014 and 2015 will be:   

A. $2,333 in 2014 and $7,000 in 2015.

 

B. $5,833 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2015.

 

C. $6,667 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2015.

 

D. $10,000 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2015.

($88,000 – $8,000) = $80,000/8 = $10,000 × 8/12 = $6,667 in 2014 and $10,000 in 2015

 

 

 

86.Refer to the information above. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses the 200%-declining-balance method and the half-year convention. Depreciation expense in 2014 and 2015 will be:   

A. $11,000 in 2014 and $19,250 in 2015.

 

B. $22,000 in 2014 and $12,571 in 2015.

 

C. $22,000 in 2014 and $7,857 in 2015.

 

D. $11,000 in 2014 and $22,000 in 2015.

$88,000 × 2/8 = $22,000/2 = $11,000 in 2014 and $77,000 × 2/8 = $19,250 in 2015

 

 

 

87.Refer to the information above. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses the 150%-declining-balance method and the half-year convention. Depreciation expense in 2014 and 2015 will be:   

A. $8,250 in 2014 and $14,953 in 2015.

 

B. $16,500 in 2014 and $12,964 in 2015.

 

C. $16,500 in 2014 and $16,500 in 2015.

 

D. $15,000 in 2014 and $11,786 in 2015.

($88,000 × 1.5/8) = $16,500/2 = $8,250 in 2014 and ($88,000 – $8,250) × 1.5/8 = $14,953 in 2015

 

 

 

88.Refer to the information above. In the year 2020, Tilton Products sells this machinery for $4,500. At the date of sale, the machinery had been depreciated by Tilton Products to its estimated residual value of $8,000. This sale results in:
