Question

Juno Co. purchased a machine for $10,000 and estimates it will use the machine for three years with a $2,000 salvage value. It expects to produce a total of 8,000 units as follows: 3,000 during year one; 2,500 during year two; and 2,500 during year three. Using the units-of-production depreciation method, compute the machine's first year depreciation expense.

Answer 1

The machine's first year depreciation expense is $3000.

The units-of-production depreciation method is a depreciation method where the depreciation expense of an equipment depends on the units of a product produced in a given period.

Deprecation expense = (total units produced in year 1 / total units that the machine can produce) x (cost of the asset - salvage value)

Deprecation expense in the first year

(3,000 / 8,000) x ($10,000 - $2,000)

0.375 x $8,000 = $3000
