Answer 1

First 2 questions are being answered here.

1. Under the straight line method, depreciation is calculated by the following formula:

Depreciation = Cost - Salvage value / Useful life

Cost = $30000, Salvage value = $6000, useful life = 10

Depreciation = ($30000 - $6000) / 10 = $2400

Under straight line method, depreciation remains the same for every year. So depreciation for all the 10 year will be $2400.

Now,

Total units produced = 1200

Depreciation for 1200 units = $2400

Depreciation for 1000 units = $2400 * 1000 / 1200 = $2000.

2. Option (d) is correct

All the given options are product costs. Product costs are the costs of direct material, direct labor and allocated factory overhead. All the given costs in options a, b and c are related to production. So they will include in product costs.
