Which of the following best describes the objective of
depreciation?
To report the asset on the balance sheet at the estimated
amount for which the asset could be sold on the balance
sheet date.
To estimate the remaining useful life of the asset.

which its use contributes to earning revenue.
To estimate the current market value of the asset. -
....ANSWER...To estimate the remaining useful life of the
asset.
Warren Corporation purchased a truck at a cost of $60,000.
It has an estimated useful life of five years and estimated
residual value of $5,000. At the beginning of year three,
Warren's managers concluded that the total useful life
would be four years, rather than five years. There was no
change in the estimated residual value. What is the amount
of depreciation that Warren should record for year 3 under
the straight-line depreciation method?
$15,500
$16,500
$8,250
$11,000 - ....ANSWER...$8,250
The annual depreciation expense in year 1 and year 2 is
$11,000, calculated as ($60,000 - $5,000) ÷ 5.
As a result of the $11k in annual depreciation, by the end
of year 2/beginning of year 3, you will have depreciated
$22k from the original book value, leaving you with a net
amount of $60k - $22k = $38k at the beginning of year 3.
Now the useful life assumption has changed to 4 years,
meaning there are now only two years left to depreciate the
asset. No change was made to the residual value
assumption, meaning that there is now $38k in book value,
with a residual value remaining at $5k.
That means that $33k ($38k - $5k) is the amount that will
be depreciated over the next two years, and using straightline depreciation that amounts $16.5k per year ($33k / 2
years ).
Therefore, year 3 depreciation expense will be $16.5k (and
so will year 4, for that matter).
