Question

Bina Co. purchased a machine on January 1st for $15,000 and estimates it will use the machine for three years with a $3,000 salvage value. Bina estimates that they will produce 1,500 units during year one, 1,000 units during year two, and 1,250 units during year three. Using the units-of-production method, compute the machine's second year depreciation expense.

Answer 1

The machine's second year depreciation expense is $3,200.

Depreciation is a method that is used to expense the cost of an asset. The units-of-production depreciation method determines the depreciation expense based on the units of goods that the machine produces in a given year.

Unit of production depreciation expense = (unit of goods produced in year 2 / total units the machine can produce) x (cost of the asset - salvage value)

Total units the machine can produce = 1500 + 1250 + 1000 = 3750

(1000 / 3750) x ($15,000 - $3,000) = $3,200
