On January 1, 2018, Hobart Mfg. Co. purchased a drill press at a cost of $39,300. The drill press is expected to last 10 years and has a residual value of $6,300. During its 10-year life, the equipment is expected to produce 500,000 units of product. In 2018 and 2019, 26,500 and 87,000 units, respectively, were produced. Required: Compute depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the drill press at December 31, 2018 and 2019, assuming the units-of-production method is used. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:-Units of production method:-
Annual depreciation expense per unit produced=Cost – salvage /Total units produced
=($39300-$6300)/500000 units =$.07 per unit
Depreciation expense in 2018= Depreciation expense per unit* Units produced in year 2018
=$.07 per unit *26500 units
=$1855
Book value at end of 2018 = $39300 – $1855 = $37445
Depreciation expense in 2019= Depreciation expense per unit* Units produced in year 2019
=$.07 per unit *87000 units
=$6090
Book value at end of 2019 = $37445 – $6090 = $31355
