Respuesta :

Answer:

a) $37,500

Explanation:

In order to determine the depreciation for year 1  based on the units-of-production method, we apply the formula below:

Annual Depreciation= Depreciable Value × Units produced during the year /Estimated total production

Depreciable Value = Original cost – Scrap value

depreciable value=$300,000-$50,000=$250,000

Units produced during the year=6,000 hours

Estimated total production in hours=40,000 hours

first-year depreciation=$250,000*6000/40000

first-year depreciation=$ 37,500.00
