  1. Zmarek Associates purchased laboratory equipment for $450,000. Determine the depreciated value of this equipment
    after 4 years using:


a. 10.5% annual depreciation
b. Straight-line depreciation with a $25,000 salvage value and a 9-year useful life


  1. Boldhurst Conservatory purchased new pianos for $1.2 million. The useful life of the pianos is 20 years and the salvage
    value is $95,000. Using straight-line depreciation, determine the depreciated value of the pianos after 7 years.

  2. Zarofi re Systems bought new computers for its offi ces for $250,000. Using 5-year MACRS depreciation, determine the
    total depreciation the company will take for these computers in the fi rst 3 years and their depreciated value after 3 years.

  3. Stonehurst Trucking bought a new truck for $111,925. Find the depreciated value of this truck after 5 years, using:


a. 12% annual depreciation
b. Straight-line depreciation with a $7,300 salvage value and a 10-year useful life


  1. Ralydex Pharmacorp bought offi ce equipment for a total of $162,500. The useful life is 7 years, and the salvage value
    is $3,500. The equipment was put in use 214 days before the end of 2007. Determine the amount of straight-line
    depreciation that the company could claim for this equipment for 2007, 2008, and 2009.

  2. Segulon Corp. bought new soundproofi ng equipment for its audio testing labs at a cost of $319,500. The useful life is
    12 years and there is no salvage value. Determine the per-year straight-line depreciation rate.

  3. Suppose that a piece of offi ce equipment is purchased for $7,200. The useful life is 5 years and the salvage value is
    $1,400. Create a table showing the depreciated value of the offi ce equipment after each year of its use.
