Question
Canada Company purchased a machine at an invoice price of P4,500,000 with terms 2/10, n/30. The entity paid the
required amount for the machine beyond the discount period. The entity paid P80,000 for delivery of the machine
and P310,000 for installation and testing. The machine was ready for use on January 1, 2019. It was estimated that
the machine would have a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of P800,000. Engineering estimated indicated
that the useful life of productive units was 200,000. Units actually produced during the first two years were 30,000
in 2019 and 48,000 in 2020. The entity decided to use the output method of depreciation. What is the accumulated
depreciation of the machine on December 31, 2020?
A. 1,560,000
B. 1,600,000
C. 960,000
D. 600,000
Expert Solution
Step 1
Solution :
The question has mentioned that amount was paid beyond the discount period , discount has not been
availed.
Cost of asset = cost of asset + delivery charge + installation cost
=4500000 + 80000 + 310000
=4890000
Salvage value =800000
Depreciable base = cost – salvage value
=4890000 – 800000
=4090000
Useful life (production units ) =200000
Depreciation per unit =depreciable base / estimated production
=4090000 / 200000
=20.45 per unit
Now,
Depreciation for year ending 31 dec 2019 = 30000 * 20.45
=613500
Depreciation for year ending 31 dec 2020 = 48000 * 20.45
= 981600
Accumulated depreciation on 31 dec 2020 = 1595100
Step 2
Since the option given are not correct .
Let us assume that the amount was paid within a discount period
Then
Purchase price of asset = 4500000 – 2%
=4410000
Cost of asset = cost of asset + delivery charge + installation cost
=4410000 + 80000 + 310000
= 4800000
Salvage value =800000
Depreciable base = cost – salvage value
= 4800000– 800000
= 4000000
Useful life (production units ) =200000
Depreciation per unit =depreciable base / estimated production
= 4000000 / 200000
=20 per unit
Now,
Depreciation for year ending 31 dec 2019 = 30000 * 20
= 600000
Depreciation for year ending 31 dec 2020 = 48000 * 20
= 960000
Accumulated depreciation on 31 dec 2020 = 1560000
Hence the correct answer is option a. 1560000
