Answer:
(a) $61,200
(b) 12.5%
(c) $7,650
Explanation:
Given information:
Cost = $65,000
Residual value = $3,800
Useful life= 8 years
Now,
(a) Depreciable cost = Cost - Residual value
Depreciable cost = $65,000 - $3,800
Depreciable cost = $61,200
(b) Straight line rate = [tex]\frac{100}{Useful life}[/tex]
Straight line rate = [tex]\frac{100}{8}[/tex]
Straight line rate = 12.5%
(c) Annual straight line depreciation = [tex]\frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}[/tex]
Annual straight line depreciation = [tex]\frac{65,000 - 3,800}{8}[/tex]
Annual straight line depreciation = [tex]\frac{61,200}{8}[/tex]
Annual straight line depreciation = $7,650
