Answer 1

Compute depreciation expense under each of the following methods. Whispering is on a calendar-year basis ending December 31. (Round rate per hour and rate per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.35 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)

(a)		Straight-line method for 2020 (286800-13200/8)*3/12		$8550
(b)		Activity method (units of output) for 2020 (286800-13200/48000*1000)		$5700
(c)		Activity method (working hours) for 2020 (286800-13200/20000*550)		$7524
(d)		Sum-of-the-years'-digits method for 2022 (273600*7/36*9/12+273600*6/36*3/12)		$51300
(e)		Double-declining-balance method for 2021 (286800*25%*9/12+286800*75%*25%*3/12)		$67219
