B) Compute the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance method for 2016 and 2017. Assume the DDB rate is 100%/years = 14.29% C) Compute the depreciation expense under the units of activity method for 2016, assuming machine usage was 4, 444 hours.

Actual hours of use in the first 3 years were: 2016, 800; 2017, 4, 500; and 2018, 7,000. A) Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each machine at December 31, 2018.
