    a.

    Straight line method

    This method gives a uniform depreciation figure over the lifetime of the asset. Formula is,

    = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful life

    = (52,000 - 12,000) / 4

    = $10,000

    Diminishing Balance Method

    This method applies depreciation at a faster rate so that the assets depreciates faster in it's earlier years.

    Formula is,

    = Cost * Depreciation rate

    = 52,000 * 31%

    = $16,120

    Units of Production

    This method depreciates based on the usage of the asset vs the total capacity of the asset. Assuming the van was driven 78,000 kilometers during the financial year

    Formula is,

    = ((Cost - Residual value) * units for the year) / Estimated production capacity

    = ((52,000 - 12,000) * 78,000) / 200,000

    = 3,120,000 / 200,000

    = $15,600

    b.

    Date

    June 30 2021

    DR Depreciation $11,123

    CR Accumulated Depreciation $11,123

    Working

    June 30 2021 Depreciation

    = (Cost - 2020 Depreciation) * 31%

    = (52,000 - 16,120) * 31%

    = 35,880 * 31%

    = $11,123

    c. Straight line depreciation is constant so Value at the second year using Straight line will be,

    = Cost - 2020 Depreciation - 2021 Depreciation

    = 52,000 - 10,000 - 10,000

    = $32,000
