The owner of a restaurant buys new equipment. The salvage value of the equipment is $25,000.
The graph shows three methods that the restaurant can use to depreciate the equipment.
Which method depreciates the value the most during the first 3 years? (See Example 6.)
-
From the graph, you can see that after 3 years, the green graph is the lowest. Therefore, the double declining-balance method depreciates the most during the first 3 years.

The owner of a restaurant buys new equipment. The salvage value of the equipment is $25,000. The graph shows three methods that the restaurant can use to depreciate the equipment. Using sum of the years-digits depreciation, how much more of the value did the restaurant expense during the first 4 years when compared to straight-line depreciation? (See Example 6.)
-
From the graph, you can see that the sum of the years-digits method depreciated about $100,000 more during the first 4 years than the straight-line method. To check this estimate, you can compare the depreciation schedules for the two methods.
From the spreadsheets, you can see that the straight-line method depreciated
during the first 4 years. The sum of the years-digits method depreciated
during the first 4 years. The difference is $103,636.36.

We have looked at the spreadsheet and found that there was an error in the data. The problem was fixed and the new spreadsheet was posted to the site.
Thank you.0 0Cody (moderator)1 decade ago |Thank you for letting me know. I will take a look into this spreadsheet as well.0 0Guest 1 decade ago |Again, the spreadsheet is incorrect in the depreciation column of the Single-Line Depreciation method.

The owner of a restaurant buys new equipment. The salvage value of the equipment is $25,000. The graph shows three methods that the restaurant can use to depreciate the equipment. Suppose the restaurant sells the equipment for $250,000 after 4 years. Describe the restaurant's gain or loss using each method. (See Example 6.)
