Assume that an asset costing $72,000 is expected to produce 500,000 units and have a salvage value of $6,000. The first year, 90
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

depreciable value = $72,000 - $6,000 = $66.000

depreciation expense per unit produced = $66,000 / 500,000 units = $0.132 per unit

depreciation expense year 1 = 90,000 x $0.132 = $11,880

depreciation expense year 2 = 82,000 x $0.132 = $10,824

depreciation expense year 3 = 94,000 x $0.132 = $12,408

  • At the unfreezing stage, the goal is to change the mindset and belief of the consumers about a particular process being deployed.
  • Since the adoption of the new technology is being advertised as one that will make things better, we can see elements of unfreezing here.
