Problem 5. Depreciation Methods: Straight-line, Activity, and Double Declining Balance

UMPI Corporation purchased a new machine for production on 1/1/18. The cost of the machine was $175,000. The salvage value was estimated to be $25,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 5 years and its working hours was estimated at 25,000 hours. The hours used 2018 thru 2023 were 5,750, 5,000, 4,250, 5,500, 4,500, respectively. Year-end is December 31^st. Fully depreciate the equipment through the full 5 years.

Please Note: I understand that I am to submit only one question per post. However, this problem only makes sense if all of the questions are answered by the same CHEGG EXPERT.

Thank You
