On July 1, Hartford Construction purchases a bulldozer for $228,000. The equipment has a 9-year life with a residual value of $16,000. Hartford uses the units-of-output method of depreciation, and the bulldozer is expected to yield 26,500 operating hours. What is the depreciation expense per hour of operation

Respuesta :

The depreciation expense per hour of operation is $8 per hour

a. Depreciation expense per hour:

= (Cost - salvage value) / Expected operating hours

= (228,000 - 16,000) / 26,500

= $8 per hour

b. First year depreciation:                                   Second year depreciation:        

= 1,250 * 8                                                               = 2,755 * 8

= $10,000                                                              = $22,040

Third year depreciation:

= 1,225 * 8

= $9,800
