E9–7
a. Straight-line: Income Statement Balance Sheet
b. Units-of-production:
($27,000 – $1,500) x 61,200/255,000
($27,000 – $1,500) x 140,250/255,000
($27,000 – $1,500) x 53,550/255,000
($27,000 – $18,000) x 2/3
($27,000 – $24,000) x 2/3
*Although ($27,000 – $24,000) x 2/3 = $2,000, because the ending book value must
equal residual value ($1,500), only enough depreciation expense is recorded in year
three to make the book value equal $1,500.
