Answer :
Answer:
$29,167
Explanation:
Actual units produced in year 8 = 7,000
Expected more units in later years = 113,000
Total expected units to be produced by the machine throughout its 8-year useful life = 7,000 + 113,000 = 120,000
Depreciation expenses for year 8 = $500,000 × (7,000 ÷ 120,000) = $29,167.
Therefore, the amount of depreciation expense the Banks should report for the machine on its income statement for the year ending December 31, year 8 is $29,167.
