Answer:

c) $0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate per unit depreciation, we first calculate total depreciable amount.

Depreciable amount = Cost - salvage value

Depreciale amount = 48,000 - 4000 =$44,000

Depreciation per unit = 44,000/ 100,000 = $0.44/ unit

This is the amount chargeable multiplied by the activity in the appropriate period.

Hope that helps.
