Hi there,

I am currently stuck on calculating unit depreciation, specifically on how the outputted answers give the revised cost under Journal entry 4. If you could please clarify how they got this, that would be awesome.

Thank you.

The question was: Benson Inc. was preparing the annual financial statements and, as part of the year-end procedures, assessed the assets and prepared the following alphabetized schedule based on adjusted values at December 31, 2015: Date of Deprec.
