Sagot :

Answer: A. BD 22,500

Explanation:

First find the depreciation per unit:

= (Cost of machine -Salvage value) / Total units to be produced over lifetime

= (750,000 - 50,000) / 1,400,000

= BD 0.5 per unit

There are 45,000 units to be produced in the second year:

= 45,000 * 0.5

= BD 22,500
