Solution

Sure, here's how to calculate the book value of the machine in 2030:

  1. First, we need to determine the total amount of depreciation over the 20-year period. This is the original cost of the equipment minus the scrap value. So, 1,000,0001,000,000 - 100,000 = $900,000.

  2. Next, we need to calculate the annual depreciation. This is the total depreciation divided by the number of years. So, 900,000/20=900,000 / 20 = 45,000. This means the value of the equipment decreases by $45,000 each year.

  3. Now, we need to find out how many years have passed from 2012 to 2030. This is 2030 - 2012 = 18 years.

  4. Then, we multiply the number of years by the annual depreciation to find the total depreciation from 2012 to 2030. So, 18 * 45,000=45,000 = 810,000.

  5. Finally, we subtract this total depreciation from the original cost of the equipment to find the book value in 2030. So, 1,000,0001,000,000 - 810,000 = $190,000.

So, the book value of the machine in 2030 will be $190,000.
