At the beginning of the year, Wong's Martial Arts Centre bought three used fitness machines from Hangar Inc. for a total cash price of \(\$ 38,000\). Transportation costs on the machines were \(\$ 2,000\). The machines immediately were overhauled, installed, and started operating. The machines were different; therefore, each had to be recorded separately in the accounts. An appraiser was requested to estimate their market value at the date of purchase (prior to the overhaul and installation). The carrying amounts shown on Hangar's books also are available. The carrying amounts, appraisal results, installation costs, and renovation expenditures follow:

By the end of the first year, each machine had been operating 8,000 hours.

2. Prepare the entry to record depreciation expense at the end of year 1 , assuming the following:
