Parker Key · Answer 1

depreciation rate per unit $0.34

Explanation:

To calculate the depreciation cost per unit we divide the amount subject to depreciation by the estimated untis production over its useful life:

depreciable amount:

$41,000 - $3,600 = $ 37,400

depreciation rate:

$37,400 / 110,000 units = $0.34
