    Cost less salvage value = 970,000 - 4500 = 965,500

    Capacity of machine = 1,000,000 units.

    units consumed at the end of second year = 200,000 + 300,000 = 500,000 units.

    Capacity remaining = 1,000,000 - 500,000 = 500,000 units

    Book value at end of second year = (500,000/1,000,000) * 965,500 + 4500

    = $487,250
