Multiple Choice Question 209 A machine with a cost of $260000 has an estimated salvage value of $20000 and depreciation for the second full year, during which the machine was used 4000 hoi $66667. $86667. $80000 $48000

Answer 1

Depreciation rate = (Cost - Salvage value) /Useful life in hours

= (260,000 - 20,000)/12,000

= 20 per hour

Depreciation for second year = 20*4000

= 80,000

Option C is the answer
