On January 1, the Hanover Beverage Company replaced the palletizing machine on one of its juice lines. The cost of the machine was $195,000. The machine's expected life is five years or 480,000 units, and its estimated salvage value is $19,500.

The following numbers of units were produced over the next four years:

Year

Units

1

121,000

2

119,500

3

122,600

4

123,000

At the end of the 4th year, the total number of units produced exceeded expectations.

Note: Depreciation cannot drop below its estimated salvage value.
