$ 18,000 |
In 2016, Gruman uses the machine for 2,000 hours and produces
50,000 units. In 2017, Gruman uses the machine for 1,200 hours and

Required:
- Compute the depreciation for 2016 and 2017 under each of the
following methods:
- Straight-line method
- Sum-of-the-years'-digits method
- Double-declining-balance method
- Activity method based on hours worked
- Activity method based on units of output
- For each method, what is the book value of the machine at the

- Straight-line method
- Sum-of-the-years'-digits method
- Double-declining-balance method
- Activity method based on hours worked
- Activity method based on units of output
- If Gruman used a service life of 8 years or 15,000 hours and a
residual value of $9,000 , what would be the effect on the
following under the straight-line, sum-of-the-years'-digits, and
double-declining-balance depreciation methods?
