    Using the units-of-production method, the amount of depreciation expense the company would report in the income statement prepared for the year-ended October 31, 2018 would be $105,711.

    Explanation:

    The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

    (Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

    Depreciation expense (DE) is: ($520,500 - $5,500) / 28,500 operating hours x 11,700 hours = $211,421 yearly depreciation expense.

    Depreciation from May 1 to October 31, 2018 (6 months) : $211,421 / 2 = $105,711
