    Option (b) $3,948

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Purchase price = $31,000

    Installation and testing cost = $2,800

    Insurance on the equipment = $4,200

    Routine maintenance and repairs = $640

    Estimated useful life = 100,000 units

    Estimated salvage value = $5,600

    Number of units produced = 14,000 units

    Now,

    Total cost of the equipment = Purchase price + Installation and testing cost

    = $31,000 + $2,800

    = $33,800

    Rate of depreciation = [ cost - salvage value ] : Number of units produced

    = [ $33,800 - $5,600 ] : 100,000 units

    = $0.282 per unit

    Therefore,

    Depreciation for 14,000 unis

    = Rate of depreciation * 14,000 units

    = $0.282 per unit * 14,000 units

    = $3,948

    Hence,

    Option (b) $3,948
