Question

On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. 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. g

Answer 1

Annual depreciation= $14,355

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Original cost= $65,800

Number of units= 200

Salvage value= $2,000

During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.

To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated

Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45

Annual depreciation= $14,355
