Muggsy Bogues Company purchased equipment for $212,000 on October 1, 2014. It is estimated that the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 40,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,000. During 2014, Bogues uses the equipment for 525 hours and the equipment produces 1,000 units.
Compute depreciation expense under each of the following methods. Bogues is on a calendar-year basis ending December 31.
(a) Straight-line method for 2014 (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) $
(b) Activity method (units of output) for 2014 (Round rate per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.35 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) $
(c) Activity method (working hours) for 2014 (Round rate per hour to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.35 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) $
(d) Sum-of-the-years’-digits method for 2016 (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) $

Exercise 11-21
Forda Lumber Company owns a 7,000-acre tract of timber purchased in 2007 at a cost of $1,300 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land was estimated to have a value of $300 per acre without the timber. Forda Lumber Company has not logged this tract since it was purchased. In 2014, Forda had the timber cruised. The cruise (appraiser) estimated that each acre contained 8,000 board feet of timber. In 2014, Forda built 10 miles of roads at a cost of $7,840 per mile. After the roads were completed, Forda logged and sold 3,500 trees containing 850,000 board feet.
Determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2014. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1525.)
Cost of timber sold $
If Forda depreciates the logging roads on the basis of timber cut, determine the depreciation expense for 2014. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1525.)
Depreciation expense $
If Forda plants five seedlings at a cost of $4 per seedling for each tree cut, how should Forda treat the reforestation?
