Depreciation Expense under Production Hours & Production Units:

c) Production Unit:

Depreciation Rate =Depreciable amount/Production hours

= $5.90 per unit

for 1,100 units, Depreciation expense = 1,100 x  $5,90 = $6,490

b) Production hours:

Depreciation Rate = Depreciable amount/Production hours

= $237,770/20,100 = $11.83 per hour

For 530 hours, depreciation expense = 530 x $11.83 = $6,270
