Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 and 2018 under the following methods
a. Straight-line method
= (Purchase cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated life)
= ($400,000 - $100,000) ÷ (5 years)
= $60,000
Since the depreciation expense under this method would remain the same for the remaining useful life
So for 2017 and 2018, the depreciation expense i.e. $60,000 would be charged every year. 
b. Under the sum-of-the-year-digits method
For 2017, 
= ($400,000 - $100,000) × 5 years ÷ ( 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)
= $300,000 × 5 years ÷ 15 years
= $100,000
For 2018, the book value is 
= $400,000 - $100,000
The $100,000 is the depreciation expense of 2017 year 
= $300,000 × 4 ÷ 15
= $80,000
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Cutting = $10.99 per machine hour
Finishing= $15.28 per direct labour hours. 
Explanation:
The question requests the predetermined overhead rate for Cutting department and Finishing department
Step 1: What is the formula for the pre-determined overhead rate
For the Cutting Department
Predetermined Overhead rate= The total fixed manufacturing Overhead/ Total Machine Hours +Variable Manufacturing Overhead rate per machine hour. 
= $390,000/$43,400) + $2
= $10.99 per machine hour
For the Finishing Department
Predetermined Overhead rate= The total fixed manufacturing Overhead/ Total Labour Hours +Variable Manufacturing Overhead rate per machine hour. 
= $496,000/43,000) + $3.75
= $15.28 per direct labour hours.
