Question

A machine costing $217,000 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 495,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units: 121,500 in 1st year, 123,200 in 2nd year, 120,800 in 3rd year, 139,500 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.) Required 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.) Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below Units of Straight Line Production DDB Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Straight-line depreciation Straight-Line Depreciation Year Depreciation Expense 2 4 Total

Explanation / Answer

1. Straight line dep :(217000-19000/4) = 49500

2. Unit of production :

Depreciation rate = (217000-19000/495000) = 0.4 per unit

Double decline balance :

Straight line dep 1 49500 2 49500 3 49500 4 49500 Total 198000
