$4,500 residual value. Wasson uses the units-of-production depreciation method and Wasson estimates that the vehicle will be driven 105,000 miles. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming the vehicle was driven 10,500 miles during 2019 and driven 18,500 miles during 2020
The Total manufacturing costs will increase while the unit manufacturing costs will decrease
Explanation:
The most likely behavior of the total manufacturing costs as well as the unit manufacturing costs is that the Total manufacturing costs will increase while the unit manufacturing costs will decrease because Atlas Manufacturing has the capacity to produce 50,000 valves annually which is per year in which it produces 40,000 valves and is about to increase the production to 45,000 valves the next coming year which will cause the manufacturing costs to increase and inturn cause the unit manufacturing costs to decrease.
