Lynbrook purchased a tooling machine to use for the manufacturing of its new products on March 5, 2020. You have been asked to determine how much depreciation expense would be recognized under two different methods. The equipment cost $110,000 and is expected to have a value of $20,000 at the end of its five-year life.

Required:

a) Determine the amount of depreciation expense that will be recognized under each of the following depreciation methods in 2020 and 2021, the first and second years of the equipment's useful life. Lynbrook has a policy to use the partial-years method of depreciation. (round to nearest dollar, if needed):

1. Straight-line. 2. Double-declining-balance.

b) Prepare the Property Plant & Equipment (PPE) section of the balance sheet at the end of the 2021 under the double-declining-balance method, assuming the equipment is the only plant asset owned by Lynbrook.

c) Lynbrook sold the equipment on September 2, 2022 for $15,000. Prepare the entry to record the depreciation expense incurred in 2022 and the entry to record the sale of the equipment, using the straight-line method of depreciation.
