    Annual depreciation = $4,620

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Purchasing price = $37,000

    Installation = $4,000

    Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.

    First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.

    Total cost = 37,000 + 4,000 = $41,000

    Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

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

    Annual depreciation = [ (41,000 - 8,000) / 100,000]*14,000

    Annual depreciation = $4,620
