Depreciation rate per unit =
production
Depreciation expense = Depreciation rate per unit x Units
of production for the year

A new stamping machine was purchased at a cost of $125,000.
The estimated residual value is $20,000, and the estimated
useful life is 3 years. The estimated productive life of the
