    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Purchasing cost = $150,000.

    The company estimated that the machine will have a salvage value of $12,000. The machine is expected to be used for 10,000 working hours during its 5-year life.

    1) Straight-line:

    Annual depreciation = (original cost - salvage value) / estimated life (years)

    Annual depreciation = (150,000 - 12,000) / 5 = 27,600

    2020:

    Annual depreciation = (27,600/365) * 92 days = $6,956.71

    2) Units of activity:

    Annual depreciation = [ (original cost - salvage value) / useful life of production in units]*units produced

    Annual depreciation = [ (150,000 - 12,000) / 10,000]*1.700 = $23,460

    3) Double-declining balance:

    Annual depreciation = 2*[ (book value) / estimated life (years) ]

    Annual depreciation = 2*27,600 = 55,200

    2020:

    Annual depreciation = 55,200/365*92 = 13,913.42

    2021:

    Annual depreciation = [138,000 - 13,913.42) / 5]*2 = 49,634.63
