On June 30, 2016, Prego Equipment purchased a precision laser-guided steel punch that has an expected capacity of 300,000 units and no residual value. The cost of the machine was $450,000 and is to be depreciated using the units-of-production method. During the six months of 2016, 24,000 units of product were produced. At the beginning of 2017, engineers estimated that the machine can realistically be used to produce only another 230,000 units. During 2017, 70,000 units were produced.

Prego would report depreciation in 2017 of:

a.$135,230

b.$126,000

c.$108,000

d.$105,000
