Units of Production Method
The cost of the asset: $300,000.00
The salvage value: $10,000.00
The life of the asset in production units: 11,000 units
Calculate the Depreciation per Unit to the nearest dollar, then determine the Book Value at the End of 2,200 units.
Units of production depreciation
= (Cost of assets – salvage value)/ total number of units to be produced
= ($ 300,000 - $ 10,000)/11,000
= $ 290,000/11,000 = $ 26.3636 or $ 26.3636
Depreciation per unit is $ 26.36
Book value at the end of 2,200 units = Cost of assets – depreciation expense
= $ 300,000 – ($ 26.3636 x 2,200)
= $ 300,000 - $ 58,000
= $ 242,000
