Calculate the depreciation expense for the machine 2018 using the unit of production method.
Purchase price of bus = $521,837
Salvage Value = $30,000
Total Travel over useful life = 327,755 kms
Travel in 2018 = 30,000 kms
Depreciaiton expense using unit of production method is as follows
Depreciation expense for the machine 2018 = (Purchase Price - Salvage Value) * Travel in 2018 / Total Travel over useful life
= ($521,837 - $30,000) * 30,000 kms / 327,755 kms
= $45,018.71825
Therefore, depreication expense for the machine 2018 using unit of production method is $45,018.72
