The interest incurred for the year is determined by the following formula:
▪ Interest = Principal x Interest Rate x Time Period
▪ =Php 500,000.00 x 10% x 3/12 (3/12 = from October to December)
▪ =Php 500,000.00 x .05 x 3/12
▪ =Php 12,500.00
▪Case No. 9: Three-day salaries are
unpaid as of December 31 2020.
Salaries are Php 75,000.00 for a five-
day work week.
▪ To compute for depreciation, you will be using a formula. The components of the formula are
explained below.
▪ 1. Asset cost is the amount an entity paid to acquire the depreciable asset.
▪2. Estimated salvage value is the amount that the asset can be probably sold for at the end of its
estimated useful life.
▪ 3. Estimated useful life is the number of periods that an entity can make use of the asset.
▪ Using the straight-line method in computing for the depreciation of the service vehicle for the period is Php
50,000.00.
▪ Asset Cost Php 160,000.00
▪ Less: Estimated Salvage Value 10,000.00
▪ Depreciable Cost 150,000.00
▪ Divided by: Estimated Useful Life 3 years
▪ Depreciation Expense for the Year Php 50,000.00
▪Case No. 11: The owner of RDS Company paid Php
160,000.00 cash to purchase a delivery van
(surplus) on January 1. The van was expected to
have a three-year life and a Php 10,000.00
