Depreciation Methods

On January 2 Skyler, Inc. purchased a laser cutting machine to be used in the fabrication of a part for one of its key products. The machine cost $120,000, and its estimated useful life was four years or 920,000 cuttings, after which it could be sold for $5,000.

Required

a. Calculate each years depreciation expense for the machine's useful life under each of the following depreciation methods (round all answers to the nearest dollar): 1. Straight-line. 2. Double-declining balance. 3. Units-of-production. (Assume annual production in cuttings of 200,000; 350,000; 260,000; and 110,000.)

2. Double-declining balance (Round answers to the nearest whole number, when appropriate.)
