Question - In recent years, Farr Company has purchased three machines. Because of frequent employee turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant was in charge of selecting the depreciation method for each machine, and various methods have been used. Information concerning the machines is summarized in the table below.

Machine	Acquired	Cost	Salvage  Value	Useful Life  (in years)	Depreciation Method
1	Jan. 1, 2012	$134,000	$27,000	10	Straight-line
2	July 1, 2013	86,000	10,600	5	Declining-balance
3	Nov. 1, 2013	105,790	6,790	7	Units-of-activity

For the declining-balance method, Farr Company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total machine hours are expected to be 33,000. Actual hours of use in the first 3 years were: 2013, 720; 2014, 5,110; and 2015, 6,590.

Required -

1. Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each machine at December 31, 2015.

2. If machine 2 was purchased on April 1 instead of July 1, what would be the depreciation expense for this machine in 2013? In 2014?
