It is estimated that it will have an useful life of 5 years, and a salvage value of $15,000. the machine is expected to last 100,000 hours. The machine was used for 25,000 hours the first year. What is the depreciation for the first year assuming working hours method (activity method) is expected to be used

The depreciation for the first year is $75,000

Explanation:

In working hours method the depreciation on a fixed asset is charged using the ratio of numbers of hours utilized by the asset in a period and lifetime working capacity in hours.

First, we need to calculate the Depreciable value

Depreciable value = Cost of Asset - Salvage value = $315,000 - $15,000 = $300,000

Depreciation = Depreciable value x Numbers of hours worked / Total working capacity of Asset = $300,000 x 25,000 / 100,000 = $75,000
