Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit

Repairs                                         $530 -

Equipment                                        - $530

Ending balance in equipment = $148,190 + $30,770 + $685 + $2,920 - $25,100 = $157,465

(1) Depreciation under straight line method = $157,465 / 10 = $15,747

Balance of asset purchased in 2019 = $148,190 - $25,100 = $123,090

Depreciation = $123,090 X 8/55 = $17,904

Depreciation for equipment purchased in 2021 = ($30,770 + $685 + $2,920) X 10/55 = $6,250

(2) Total depreciation = $17,904 + $6,250 = $24,154

Account Titles and Explanation                   Debit               Credit

Repairs                                                            $530

Equipment                                                                               $530

Note: The repairs should not be added  to the cost of equipment

The balance in equipment ending = $148,190 + $30,770 + $685 + $2,920 - $25,100 = $157,465

(a) The Depreciation under method of  straight line is  = $157,465 / 10 = $15,747

The balance of asset purchased in 2019 = $148,190 - $25,100 = $123,090

Thus,

The depreciation is = $123,090 * 8/55 = $17,904

Then

Depreciation for purchased equipment  in 2021 = ($30,770 + $685 + $2,920) X 10/55 = $6,250

(2) Therefore, depreciation in total is  = $17,904 + $6,250 = $24,154
