![### Current Attempt in Progress
In recent years, Splish Brothers Company has purchased three machines. Due to frequent employee turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant was in charge of selecting the depreciation method for each machine, leading to the use of various methods. The information regarding the machines is summarized in the table below:
| Machine | Acquired | Cost | Salvage Value | Useful Life (in years) | Depreciation Method |
|---------|---------------|----------|---------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
| 1 | Jan. 1, 2020 | $99,100 | $12,500 | 8 | Straight-line |
| 2 | July 1, 2021 | $91,500 | $11,000 | 5 | Declining-balance |
| 3 | Nov. 1, 2021 | $101,500 | $7,500 | 6 | Units-of-activity |
For the declining-balance method, Splish Brothers Company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total machine hours are expected to be 47,000. Actual hours of use in the first 3 years were: 2021 - 900 hours; 2022 - 4,000 hours; and 2023 - 8,200 hours.
