Transcribed Image Text:**Wildhorse Co. Machine Depreciation Analysis**
**Background Information:**
Wildhorse Co. purchased a new machine on October 1, 2022, costing $130,000. The machine is expected to have a salvage value of $18,000 after its service life of 10,000 working hours, estimated to last 5 years.
**Depreciation Calculations:**
**(a) Straight-Line Method for 2022:**
- *Method Explanation:* The straight-line depreciation method allocates the cost of the machine evenly across its useful life.
- *Calculation:*
- Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
- = ($130,000 - $18,000) / 5 years = $22,400 per year
- For 2022 (since the machine was purchased in October), calculate for 3 months: ($22,400 / 12) * 3 = $5,600
- *Depreciation Expense 2022:* $5,600
- *Status:* The calculated depreciation expense for 2022 using the straight-line method is correct.
**(b) Units-of-Activity Method for 2022:**
- *Method Explanation:* The units-of-activity depreciation method allocates the cost based on actual usage.
- *Given:* 2022 machine usage = 1,620 hours
- *Calculation:*
- Depreciable Cost per Hour = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Total Expected Hours
- = ($130,000 - $18,000) / 10,000 hours = $11.20 per hour
- Depreciation Expense for 2022 = 1,620 hours * $11.20 per hour = $18,144
- *Depreciation Expense 2022:* $18,144
- *Status:* The calculated depreciation expense under the units-of-activity method for 2022 is correct, rounded to the nearest dollar as required.
**Attempts Used:** 1 of 3 used for both calculations.
