If a company spends $20 million to install new footwear-making equipment with capacity to produce 1 million pairs of athletic footwear at its North American production facility, then its annual depreciation costs at that facility will rise by 8% or $1,600,000. 15% or $3,000,000. 4% or $800,000. 10% or $2,000,000. 5% or $1,000,000.

10% or $2,000,000

Explanation:

Seeing as no figures were produced, we will have to do this ourselves.

We will make assumptions which include the following,

Life of the equipment = 10 Years

Salvage value = 0

Those are our 2 assumptions.

In that case then,

The Annual Depreciation will be,

Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Estimated salvage value) / Estimated useful life

= (20 - 0) / 10

= $2 million

Seeing as 2 million is,

= 2/20 * 100

= 10%

That would mean that annual depreciation costs at that facility will rise by $2 million or 10%.
