n December 27, 2014, Sunland Windows purchased a piece of equipment for $103,500. The estimated useful life of the equipment is either three years or 57,000 units, with a residual value of $6,750. The company has a December 31 fiscal year end and normally uses straight-line depreciation. Management is considering the merits of using the units-of-production or the diminishing-balance method of depreciation instead of the straight-line method. The actual numbers of units produced by the equipment were 9,250 in 2015, 16,750 in 2016, and 30,000 in 2017. The equipment was sold on January 5, 2018, for $15,000.
