Store Fixtures owned by the business: original purchase price was $42,000, estimated useful life was 9 years, and estimated residual value was $3,500 at the end of the useful life. Depreciation is calculated on a monthly basis using the straight line method. The monthly depreciation charge is calculated as the yearly depreciation expense divided by the number of months in a year...

whats the final answer if i need to round off to the nearest dollar?is it 356 or 357?so confused =.=

The nearest dollar is $356.

Calculate -> $42,000 - $3,500 = $38,500 = total depreciation expense.

We divide the total depreciation expense by the number of years, and then divide that again by the number of months, leaving us with $356.481(repeated), which rounds off to $356.

Hopefully perdisco ain't gonna be troll though. :S

Youre not supposed to round off a result part way through your working out, youre only meant to round off your final answer. Kelvin's method is correct.

Yeah, this subject. grrr

I spent 10 min on multiple choice so I could make sure that I was answering the question correctly. Then it reduced my time I had for the other stuff. grrr

As for me, I predict that I'll do better in MATH1151 than this subject :S

Seriously though I wouldn't base your views on professional accounting on ACCT1501. To be honest, if you do make it through ACCT1501, you're probably on par with the basics which a Tafe graduate or book keeper would have. Professional accounting encompasses much much more than the basics of journal entries.

I got the feeling that accountants do real life perdisco all the time.

As for me, it's either Actuarial or Education. Wouldn't mind the latter tbh.

Thankfully not. But you need to know how to do journals and how the whole cycle works before you can look at the more complex and judgemental areas such as how to interpret the more complex standards and apply it to a particular situation. e.g. I wrote an accounting paper on the appropriateness of semi-government bond rates rather than corporate bond rates being used in Australia to discount defined benefit plans for longer term maturities due to the insufficient depth/size of the market, and how it meets (or doesn't meet) the requirements of 119.

At least that sounds a lot more interesting than the current bookkeeping stuff we do right now.
