Statistics relating to the machine over its useful life are as follows:
Estimated service life under various scenarios:
In years 25
Total Estimated Output in units 300,000

Required - Calculate the depreciation expense amounts for the year 2018 under each of the following methods of recognizing depreciation. Assume Sands has a December 31st year-end.
a) Straight line
b) Units of output; In 2018 the lathe produced 11,250 units as shown above. Round the units of production charge to the nearest cent.
c) Working hours: the lathe ran for 2,150 hours in 2018 - as per above. Round the per-hour charge to the nearest cent.
d) Sum-of-the-year's-digits; (use the formula SYD to calculate the denominator)
e) Double declining balance at twice the straight-line rate (round resulting calculation to two decimal points).
