The depreciation expense to the machine that Mohr Company purchased, in  year 2, based on the cost of the machine and the units of production method is $4, 000

How to find the depreciation expense?

When using the units-of-production method to find depreciation, the focus would be on the amount of products that a machine or equipment was able to produce in a year, and then comparing this to the total amount of units the machine was to produce over its lifetime.

Firstly, there is a need to find the useful value of the machine by the formula:

= Cost of machine- Salvage value

= 48, 000 - 5, 000

= $43, 000

The depreciation expense in year 2 would then be:

= Number of units produced in year 2 / Total number of units expected over lifetime x Useful value of machine

= 8, 000 / 86, 000 x 43, 000

= $4, 000
