Question

Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the units-of-production method.

Answer 1

$25,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The units-of-production deprecation method depreciates an asset based on the total units produced each year.

Unit of production depreciation expense = (units produced / total expected units of production) × (cost of asset - salvage value)

(64,500 / 300,000) x ($135,000 - $15,000)

0.215 x $120,000 = $25,800
