Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A company buys a crane for $200,000. The crane’s salvage value is $30,000, and it has a useful life of 15 years. Also, tire costs are $10,000. Calculate the annual depreciation. How might this impact their financial reports over the years?

💡 Hint: Substitute everything correctly into the formula.

Question 2

Consider a construction company that uses a backhoe for 10 years, initially costing $50,000, with a salvage value of $5,000 and a tire cost of $5,000. If they switch to an accelerated depreciation method, how would that affect their immediate tax obligations compared to the Straight Line Method?

💡 Hint: Consider how each method tracks loss and how that impacts financial statements.
