The equipment was used 3,600 hours during Year 1, 3,000 hours in Year 2, 1,700 hours in Year 3, and 1,300 hours in Year 4. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of- output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the four years by each method. Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar. Depreciation Expense Year Straight-Line Method Units-of-Output Method Double-Declining-Balance Method Year 1 $ $ Year 2 Year 3 $ $ $ Year 4 $ $ Total $ 2.
