Answer:

b. Double-declining-balance

Explanation:

There is no harm in trying out all the methods and see for your self the one that will produce the maximum depreciation expense in 2019.

Units-of-production

Depreciation Expense = Units taken in the Period / Expected total amounts in units × Depreciable Amount (Cost - Salvage Value)

Therefore,

Depreciation Expense = 2,400 hours / 12,000 hours × ( $180,000 - $20,000)

                                      = $32,000

Double -declining-balance

Depreciation Expense = 2 × SLDP × BVSLDP

SLDP = 100 ÷ Number of useful Life

         = 100 ÷ 8

         = 12.5 %

Therefore,

Depreciation Expense = 2 × 12.5 % × $180,000

                                      = $45,000

Straight Line

Depreciation Expense = Cost - Residual Value ÷ Estimated Useful Life

                                     = ($180,000 - $20,000) ÷ 8 years

                                     = $20,000

<u>Conclusion</u>

As can be seen from the above calculation, Double-declining-balance produce the maximum depreciation expense in 2019.

Consumer surplus = 13.50 - 12

= $1.50
