Respuesta :

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Compute 2020 depreciation expense using the straight-line method.

This will be:

= (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) / Useful life of the asset

= ($96,000 - $9600) / 8

= $86400 / 8

= $10,800

b. Compute 2017 depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method, assuming the machinery was purchased on October 1, 2017.

This will be:

= $10,800 × 3/12

= $10800 × 0.25

= $2700
