Answer:

The answer is: A) The new machinery can be depreciated using the same method or different method than the previously purchased machinery

Their is no rule that requires a business to always use the same depreciation method for the assets they purchase.

• Straight-line.
• Double declining balance.
• Units of production.
• Sum of years digits.
