Salta Company installs a manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $87,000. The machine’s useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 400,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 84,500 units of product. Determine the machines’ second year depreciation under the units of production method:
Answer: $16,900
Cost-Salvage Value/Total units of production
(87,000 – 7,000)/400,000 = .2
.2 * 84,500 = 16,900

Carmel Company acquires a mineral deposit at a cost of $5,900,000. It incurs additional costs of $600,000 to access the deposit, which is estimated to contain 2,000,000 tons and is expected to take 5 years to extract. Compute the depletion expense for the first year assuming 418,000 tons were mined.
Answer: $1,358,500
5,900,000 + 600,000 = 6, 500,000
Cost – Salvage Value/ Total Units of Capacity
6,500,000-0/2000000 = 3.25
3.25 * 418,000 = 1,358,500
