    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31 for equipment that was purchased for $43,000 on October 1. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $3,000 and an estimated useful life of five years or 20,000 hours.

    Assume the equipment was used for 1,000 hours from October 1 to December 31.

    A) Annual depreciation = (original cost - salvage value) / estimated life (years)

    Annual depreciation = (43,000 - 3,000) / 5=8,000

    Year 1 depreciation = 8,000/12*3 = 2,000

    B) Annual depreciation = 2*[ (original cost - residual value) / estimated life (years) ]

    Year 1 = 16,000/12*3 = 4,000

    C) Annual depreciation = [ (original cost - salvage value) / useful life of production in units]*units produced

    Annual depreciation = 40,000/20,000 = 2

    Year 1 = 2*1000hs = 2,000
