Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
Cost = $200,000
Residual value = $40,000
Expected hours = 20,000
Working hours (year 1) = 2,500 hours
Working hours (year 2) = 3,000 hours
Working hours (year 3) = 4,000 hours
Working hours (year 4) = 5,000 hours
Now,
Depreciation per hour = [tex]\frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Expected hours}[/tex]
Depreciation per hour = [tex]\frac{200,000 - 40,000}{20,000}[/tex]
Depreciation per hour = [tex]\frac{160,000}{20,000}[/tex]
Depreciation per hour = $8
Depreciation exper for each year can be calculated using the units-of-production method. Under this method, depreciation expense per hours is multiplied with the hours used during each year.
