Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $47,000. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 310,000 units of product, with a $6,700 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 36,000 units of product. Determine the machine's second-year depreciation using the double-declining-balance method. Double-declining-balance Depreciation Annual Choose Factors: Choose Factor(%) Depreciation expense First year's depreciation Second year's depreciation
