Problem 10-28 Depreciation methods P1

On January 2, Manning Co. purchases and installs a new machine costing $324,000 with a five-year life and an estimated $30,000 salvage value. Management estimates the machine will produce 1, 4700, 00 units of product during its life. Actual product ion of units is as follows: 355,600 in 1st year, 320,400 in 2nd year, 317,000 in 3rd year, 343,600 in 4th year, 138,500 in 5th year. The tot al number of units produced by the end of year 5 exceeds the original estimate- this difference was not predicted. (The machine must not be depreciated below its estimated salvage value.)
