(round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)

$4,842,800.00

Explanation:

Units-of-production depreciation method calculates the amount to be deprecation depending on the asset usage for that period.

In this case, the total hours the asset is expected to work.

Cost of machine $ 40,000,000.00

Salvage value : $ 47,000.00

total hours machine should work: 33,000.00

Depreciable amount: = Cost price- salvage value

   =$40,000,000.00-$47,000.00

   =$39,953,000.00

Depreciation per hour= $39,953,000.00/33000

   =1,210.6969

   =1,210.70

Depreciation for 2018     =1210.7x4000

   =$4,842,800.00
