Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $72,000 that has an estimated residual value of $9,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. It is estimated that the machine will output an estimated 1,000,000 copies. This year, 315,000 copies were made. Determine the (a) depreciable cost, (b) depreciation rate, and (c) the units-of-output depreciation for the year. Round "depreciation rate" to three decimal places.

    a) $ 63,000.

    b) $ 0.063 per copy produced.

    c) $19,845.

    Explanation:

    A : Determining the depreciable Cost.

    The depreciable Cost = Acquisition cost - Salvage/Residual Value

    The depreciable Cost = $72,000 - $9,000

    The depreciable Cost = $ 63,000.

    B: Determining the depreciation rate.

    The depreciation rate = Depreciable cost/Total no. of units produced during useful life

    The depreciation rate = $ 63,000/1,000,000

    The depreciation rate = $ 0.063 per copy produced.

    B: Determining the units-of-output depreciation for the year.

    The units-of-output depreciation for the year = depreciation rate * the number of units produced for the year.

    The units-of-output depreciation for the year = 0.063 * 315,000

    The units-of-output depreciation for the year = $19,845.
