A machine costing 215000 with a fouryear life and an estimat

A machine costing $215,000 with a four-year life and an estimated $19,000 salvage value is installed in Luther Company’s factory on January 1. The factory manager estimates the machine will produce 490,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units: 121,500 in 1st year, 122,900 in 2nd year, 120,900 in 3rd year, 134,700 in 4th year. The total number of units produced by the end of year 4 exceeds the original estimate—this difference was not predicted. (The machine must not be depreciated below its estimated salvage value.

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each depreciation method. (Round your per unit depreciation to 2 decimal places. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Straight-line depreciation.

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Double-declining-balance.

Solution

Unit of production dep :

Depreciation per unit = ( 215000-19000)/490000 = 0.40 per unit

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Double-declining-balance.
