On June 1, 2021, Duncan Inc. purchased equipment for $74,000. The equipment had an estimated life of ten years, an estimated residual value of $8,000, and was expected to be used to produce 150,000 units over its life. During 2021, the equipment was used to produce 11,000 units and during 2022 it was used to produce 19,000 units. Assume the company employs the units of production method of depreciation. Calculate the amount of accumulated depreciation on the equipment shown in the company's December 31, 2022 balance sheet.
Cost of equipment = $74,000
Residual value = $8,000
Estimated life = 150,000 units
Depreciation per unit = (Cost of equipment - Residual value )/Estimated life
= (74,000 - 8,000)/150,000
= $0.44
Production in 2021 = 11,000 units
Production in 2022 = 19,000 units
Depreciation expense for year 2021 = Production in 2021 x Depreciation per unit
= 11,000 x 0.44
= $4,840
Depreciation expense for year 2022 = Production in 2022 x Depreciation per unit
= 19,000 x 0.44
= $8,360
Accumulated depreciation on Dec 31, 2022 = Depreciation expense for year 2021 + Depreciation expense for year 2022
= 4,840 + 8,360
= $13,200
