Answer:

d. $45,000

Explanation:

One of the principles of accounting concept- The income and expense matching concept states that costs should be accounted for in the period they were incurred.

Therefore, for warranties, they are expensed in the year product was sold.

Units sold for the hall is 4,500 units

Cost of depreciation per unit is $10/unit

The value of total depreciation amount will therefore be; units sold x depreciation per unit.

= 4,500 x $10

=$45,000

Total amount of depreciation is $45,000.
