Problem 9-7A

In recent years, Farr 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, 2012 $136,000 $39,700 9 Straight-line
2 July 1, 2013 95,000 11,100 5 Declining-balance
3 Nov. 1, 2013 82,690 7,890 7 Units-of-activity

For the declining-balance method, Farr Company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total machine hours are expected to be 34,000. Actual hours of use in the first 3 years were: 2013, 660; 2014, 5,040; and 2015, 6,300.
 
 
Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each machine at December 31, 2015.
