In recent years, Sunland Company has purchased three machines. Because of frequent employee turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant was in charge of selecting the depreciation method for each machine, and various methods have been used. Information concerning the machines is summarized in the table below. Machine   Acquired   Cost   Salvage  Value   Useful Life  (in years)   Depreciation Method 1   Jan. 1, 2015   $125,000   $37,000   8   Straight-line 2   July 1, 2016   77,000   10,600   5   Declining-balance 3   Nov. 1, 2016   77,100   8,100   6   Units-of-activity For the declining-balance method, Sunland Company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total machine hours are expected to be 34,500. Actual hours of use in the first 3 years were: 2016, 840; 2017, 3,800; and 2018, 5,500.
