Question - B
>> Depreciation per hour = ( $ 62,500 - $ 2,500 ) / 50,000
>> Depreciation per hour = $ 1.2
>> Depreciation for 2020 year = 4,500 * $ 1.2
>> Depreciation for 2020 year = $ 5,400.
Question - C
>> Depreciation per Unit = ( $ 62,500 - $ 2,500 ) / 120,000
>> Depreciation per Unit = $ 0.5
>> Depreciation for 2020 Year = 9,000 * $ 0.5
>> Depreciation for 2020 year = $ 4,500..
