Question

Ivanhoe company purchased machinery with a list price of $88000. They were given a 7% discount by the manufacturer. They paid $400 for shipping and sales tax of $4700. Ivanhoe estimates that the machinery will have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $25000. If Ivanhoe uses straight-line depreciation, annual depreciation will be
A) $6194
B) $5684
C) $8694
D) $6152

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $6194

Explanation:

Price before discount = $88,000

discount rate = 7%

Amount of discount = 7% *$88,000 = $6,160

Price after discount = Price before discount - Amount of discount

= $88,000 - $6,160

Price after discount = $81,840 (this is the price included in depreciation)

Items included in total cost of machinery;

Price of machinery after discount = $81,840

Shipping  cost = $400

Sales tax = $4,700

Therefore, total cost is therefore = $81,840 + $400 + $4,700 = $86,940

Depreciation per year = (Total cost of the machinery - salvage value) / useful life

= (86,940 - 25,000)/ 10

= 61,940/10

= 6,194

Therefore annual depreciation = $6,194
