Goodson Healthcare purchased a new sonogram imaging unit for $300,000 and a truck body and chassis for an additional $100,000 to make the unit mobile. The unit-truck system will be depreciated as one asset. The functional life is 8 years, and the salvage is estimated to be 10% of the purchase price of the imaging unit regardless of the number of years of service. Use classical straight line deprecia­tion to determine the salvage value, annual depreci­ation, and book value after 4 years of service.

What will be an ideal response?


B = $400,000
S = 0.1(300,000) = $30,000

Dt = (400,000 - 30,000)/8
= $46,250 per year t (t = 1, …, 8)

BV4 = 400,000 – 4(46,250) = $215,000
