Hello!
May someone double check my answer, please?
Here is the question:
"Two of the fixed assets have not been completely depreciated. These two items are a mainframe computer purchased for $20,000 in 2002 and a personal computer purchased in the current year on October 1, 2003 for $3,000. Computers are depreciated using the straight-line method over 3 years. The salvage value is 0"
This is how I answered the question:
Straight Line Depreciation Formula:
= (Current value of Asset - Salvage Value) / (Useful years)
Mainframe Computer:
= (20000 - 0) / (3)
= 6666.66
Personal Computer:
= (3000 - 0) / (3)
= 1000
Total for Both:
= 6666.66 + 1000
= 7666.66
My answer to Question: $7,666.66
**This is for the Adjusted Trial Balance, therefore, I would also be debiting "$7,666.66" under the "Fixed Assets" category and crediting "Accumulated Depreciation" for "$7,666.66".
Please let me know if this is correct. If not, please let me know how to correct it please!
Thank you for your time!
