Mace Company acquired equipment that cost $36,000, which will be depreciated on the assumption that the equipment will last six years and have a $2,400 residual value. Component parts are not significant and need not be recognized and depreciated separately. Several possible methods of depreciation are under consideration.



Required:

1. Prepare a schedule that shows annual depreciation expense for the first two years, assuming the following(Round your answer to nearest whole dollar.):

1. Declining-balance method, using a rate of 30%.


2. Productive-output method. Estimated output is a total of 210,000 units, of which 24,000 will be produced the first year; 36,000 in each of the next two years; 30,000 the fourth year; and 42,000 the fifth and sixth years.


3. Straight-line method.

2. Repeat your calculations for requirement 1, assuming a useful life of 10 years, and a declining-balance rate of 20% that reflects the longer life, but the same number of units of production. The residual value is unchanged.
