Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assume Purity Ice Cream Company, Inc., in Ithaca, NY, bought a new ice cream production kit at the beginning of the year for $152,000. The estimated useful life was four years, and the residual value was $8,000. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine was 16,000 hours. Actual annual usage was 5,500 hours in Year 1; 3,800 hours in Year 2; 3,200 hours in Year 3; and 3,500 hours in Year 4.

Annual depreciation = [ (original cost - salvage value) / useful life of production in units]*units produced

Year 1 = [ (152,000 - 8,000) / 16,000]*5500 = 49,500

Year 2 = 9*3,800 = 34,200

Year 3 = 3,200*9 = 28,800

Year 4 = 9*3,500 = 31,500

Total 144,000
