Answer:
Depreciation for the first year is $10,000
Explanation:
Unit production method is the depreciation method which is based on the output per year of the asset. The asset is depreciated by the ratio of the output for the year to the output expected over whole useful life.
Cost of printer = $60,000
Expected output = 12,000 prints
Prints in the first year = 2,000
Depreciation for the year = Total cost x output for the year / expected output over useful life
Depreciation for the first year = $60,000 x 2,000 / 12,000
Depreciation for the first year = $60,000 x 1/6
Depreciation for the first year = $10,000
