Depreciation Methods.
A high-speed multiple-bit drill press costing $300,000 has an estimated salvage value of $25,000 and a life of ten years. What is the annual depreciation for each of the first two full years under the following depreciation methods?

1. Double-declining-balance method:

(2 x Straight-line rate) x (Cost - Depreciation Taken in Prior Periods) = Depreciation for the Period
Straight-line rate = 1/10 years = 0.10 or 10%
Year one (2 x 10%) x ($300,000 - 0) = $60,000
Year two (2 x 10%) x ($300,000 - $60,000) = $48,000
a. Year one, $60,000.

b. Year two, $48,000.

2. Units of production (activity) method (lifetime output is estimated at 110,000 units; the press produced 12,000 units in year one and 18,000 in year two):

Straight line depreciation per unit = (Total Cost - Salvage value)/Total units produced
= ($300,000 - ...
