The machines estimated useful life at the time of the purchase was five years, and its residual value was $10,000. Instructions a-1. Prepare a complete depreciation schedule, beginning with calendar year 2012, using the straight-line method. (Assume that the half-year convention is used).

B. Prepare a complete depreciation schedule, beginning with calendar year 2012, using the 200 percent declining-balance method. (Assume that the half-year convention is used). (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.

Prepare a complete depreciation schedule, beginning with calendar year 2012, using the 150 percent declining-balance, switching to straight-line when that maximizes the expense. (Assume that the half-year convention is used). (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

Assume that Swanson & Hiller sells the machine on December 31, 2015, for $36,000 cash. Compute the resulting gain or loss from this sale under each of the depreciation methods used in part a. (Use rounded book values for calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
