Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.

First step is the Computation of Group depreciation rate, group life and depreciation for 2016

AssetsOriginalResidualDepreciationEstimatedDepreciation

CostValueCostLife-Yearsper year-SLM

Stoves$15,000-$3,000=$12,0006 $2,000 ($12,000/6=$2,000)

Refrigerators$10,000-$1,000=$9,000 5 $1,800 ($9,000/5=$1,800)

Dishwashers$8,000-$500=$7,5004 $1,875

($7,500/4=$1,875)

Total$33,000$4,500$28,500$5,675

Now let determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.

Calculation for group depreciation rate using this formula

Group Depreciation Rate = Total depreciation per year ÷ Total original cost

Let plug in the formula

Group depreciation rate = $5,675 ÷ $33,000*100

Group depreciation rate= 17.197%

Calculation for Group life using this formula

Group life = Total depreciation cost ÷ Total depreciation per year

Let plug in the formula

Group life = $28,500 ÷ $5,675

Group life = 5.02 years

Calculation for Depreciation for 2016 using this formula

Depreciation for 2016= Original Cost × Group Depreciation Rate

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation for 2016 = $33,000 × 0.17197

Depreciation for 2016= $5,675

Therefore the group depreciation rate is 17.197%, group life is 5.02 years, and depreciation for 2016 is $5,675

B. Preparation of the journal entries to record the purchase of the new refrigerators and the sale of the old refrigerators.
