Depreciation for Partial Periods-SL, Act, SYD, and DDB on January 1, 2008, a machine was purchased for $90,000. The machine has an estimated salvage value of $6,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. The machine can operate for 100,000 hours before it needs to be replaced. The company closed its books on December 31 and operates the machine as follows: 2008, 20,000 hrs; 2009, 25,000 hrs; 2010, 15,000 hrs; 2011, 30,000 hrs; 2012, 10,000 hrs.
(a) Compute the annual depreciation charges over the machine's life assuming a December 31 yearend for each of the following depreciation methods.
(1) Straight-line method.
(2) Activity method.
(3) Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.
(4) Double-declining-balance method.
(b) Assume a fiscal year-end of September 30. Compute the annual depreciation charges over the asset's life applying each of the following methods.
(1) Straight-line method.
(2) Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.
(3) Double-declining-balance method.

Non differentiabilities of the dual function
: This exercise shows that non differentiabilities of the dual function given in Section 10.3, often tend to arise at the most interesting points and thus cannot be ignored. Show that if there is a duality gap, then the dual function q is nondiffe..
