Greene Company purchased a machine for $75,000 that was expected to last 6 years and to have a salvage value of $6,000. At the beginning of the machine's fourth year the company decided that the estimated useful life should be revised to a total of 10 years instead of 6 years and the salvage value revised to be $5,500. Straight-line depreciation was used throughout the machine's life. Calculate the depreciation expense for the fourth year of the machine's useful life.

What will be an ideal response?


($75,000 - $6,000)/6 = $11,500 Original annual depreciation
$11,500 * 3 years = $34,500 Accumulated depreciation after 3 years
$75,000 - $34,500 = $40,500 Undepreciated cost after 3 years
($40,500 - $5,500)/7 years = $ 5,000 Annual depreciation in the 4th year
