    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Hawaiian Specialty Foods purchased equipment for $30,000.

    Residual value = $3,000.

    The machine operated for 3,100 hours in the first year, and the company expects the machine to operate for a total of 20,000 hours.

    1) Straight-line:

    Annual depreciation = (original cost - salvage value) / estimated life (years)

    Annual depreciation = (30,000 - 3,000) / 4 = $6,750

    2) Double-declining balance:

    Annual depreciation = 2*[ (book value) / estimated life (years) ]

    Annual depreciation = 2 * [ (30,000 - 3,000) / 4] = $13,500

    3) Activity-based:

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

    Annual depreciation = (27,000 / 20,000) * 3,100

    Annual depreciation = $4,185
