SWANSON & HILLER, INC. (concluded)
Computation of gains or losses upon disposal:

Swanson & Hiller will probably use the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes, as this method results in the least amount of depreciation expense in the
early years of the asset’s useful life.

Year 1:
Equipment
$350,000
($350,000 – $52,500) x 15% = $44,625
Depreciation expense for Year 3:
($350,000 – $52,500 – $44,625) x 15% = $37,931
The declining balance rate at 150% of the straight-line is:
100%/10 years = 10%; 10% x 1.5 = 15%
Depreciation expense for Year 1:
Depreciation expense for Year 2:
