Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $84,200. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 386,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 32,600 units of product. Determine the machine’s second-year depreciation and year-end book value under the straight-line method. Straight-Line Depreciation: Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life Year 2 Depreciation = Annual Depreciation Expense * (Units Produced in Year 2 / Total Units of Product) Year-end book value (Year 2) = Cost - (Depreciation Expense * Number of Years)
