On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $88,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $2,200 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 13,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1?

The depreciation expense for Year 1 is $9880

Explanation:

The cost of equipment to be recorded in the books is the price at which it was purchased and the cost incurred to bring it to intended use that is the installation cost. Thus, the cost of the equipment in the books will be recorded as,

Equipment = 88000 + 4000 = $84000

The insurance and maintenance are recurring expenses and are not capitalized.

The depreciation rate under units of production method is,

Depreciation rate = (cost - salvage value) / estimated useful life in units

Depreciation rate = (84000 - 8000) / 100000  =  $0.76 per unit

The depreciation expense for Year 1 = 0.76 * 13000 = $9880

$10,920

Explanation:

Cost of equipment = List price of equipment + Cost of installation and testing

                     $88,000 + $4,000 = $92,000

Salvage value = $8,000

Depreciation cost of equipment = Cost of equipment - salvage value

              $92,000 - $8,000 = $84,000

Estimated unit of production = 100,000 units

Year 1 units produced = 13,000 units

Depreciation = $84,000 * 13,000 / 100,000

                    = $10,920

answer; the correct answer should be (demonstrations); good luck
