It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method.

Answer 1

$14,355

Step-by-step explanation:

Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

(45/200) x ($65,800 - $2000) =

$14355
