Straight-line depreciation — Answer key

Work through each question. Show your reasoning where space is provided.

  1. 1. An asset costs 3200, has residual value 1100 and a useful life of 7 years. Calculate annual straight-line depreciation for a full year; ignore tax rules.

    300

    Annual depreciation = (cost − residual value) ÷ useful life = (3200 − 1100) ÷ 7 = 300.

  2. 2. An asset costs 7000, has residual value 1400 and a useful life of 4 years. Calculate annual straight-line depreciation for a full year; ignore tax rules.

    1400

    Annual depreciation = (cost − residual value) ÷ useful life = (7000 − 1400) ÷ 4 = 1400.

  3. 3. An asset costs 3150, has residual value 350 and a useful life of 4 years. Calculate annual straight-line depreciation for a full year; ignore tax rules.

    700

    Annual depreciation = (cost − residual value) ÷ useful life = (3150 − 350) ÷ 4 = 700.

  4. 4. An asset costs 4300, has residual value 300 and a useful life of 4 years. Calculate annual straight-line depreciation for a full year; ignore tax rules.

    1000

    Annual depreciation = (cost − residual value) ÷ useful life = (4300 − 300) ÷ 4 = 1000.

  5. 5. An asset costs 11250, has residual value 450 and a useful life of 4 years. Calculate annual straight-line depreciation for a full year; ignore tax rules.

    2700

    Annual depreciation = (cost − residual value) ÷ useful life = (11250 − 450) ÷ 4 = 2700.
