Sorter Company purchased equipment for $330,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of $33,000 . Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 under each of the following methods: Straight-line: $ fill in the blank 1 Sum-of-the-years'-digits: $ fill in the blank 2 Double-declining-balance: $

1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets

= ($330000 - $33000)/8

= $37,125

2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)

= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36

= $66,000

3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%

Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500
