Explanation / Answer

Depreciation Expense    2017       2018    (a) Straight-line: Yearly depreciation = (93450-5250)/ 7 = 12600.       2017: 12,600 * 7/12 7350       2018: 12,600 12600 (b) Units-of-output: (93450-5250)/551250 units = $0.16/unit       2017: 0.16 * 57750 9,240       2018: 0.16 * 50400 8,064 (c) Working hours:    (93450-5250)/44100 hrs. = 2.00/hr.       2017: 2.00 * 6,300 12,600       2018: 2.00 * 5,775 11,550 (d) Sum-of-the-years’-digits: Sum of the years = 7*8/2 = 28       2017: 7/28 * 88200 * 7/12 12,863       2018: 7/28 * 88200 * 5/12 =            9188                  6/28 * 88200 * 7/12 =           11025 20213 (e) Declining-balance:    Rate = 2/7 = 28.57%       2017: 7/12 * 2/7 * 93450 15,575       2018: 2/7 * (93450-15575) = 22250
