    Answer: C-$24,000

    Explanation:The units of production method is a method of depreciation where depreciation expense allocated in a year corresponds to the actual use of the asset.

    Units of production method = [ (Original cost of the machine - salvage value) : estimated productive capacity of the machinery] * actual units produced.

    The cost of the equipment - $180,000

    Salvage value = $ 20,000

    Estimated productive capacity - 40,000

    Actual production in year 2 - 6000 units

    Depreciation expense in year 2 = (180000 - 20,000) : 40,000 = $ 4

    4 * 6000 = $24,000
