3          $2,887                    $51,300        $48,600                $2,700

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of electronic payment equipment = $51,300

Residual value = $2,700

Depreciable amount = $48,600 ($51,300 - $2,700)

Volume of payments = 275,000

Useful life = 3 years

Year 1 expected payment transaction = 66,000

Year 2 expected payment transaction = 151,250

Year 3 expected payment transaction = 57,750

b) Straight-line method:

Depreciation expense per year =  $16,200 ($48,600/3)

b) Units-of-production method:

Depreciation expense per:

Year 1 = 66,000/275,000 * $48,600 = $11,664

Year 2 = 151,250/275,000 * $48,600 = $26,730

Year 3 = 57,750/275,000 * $48,600 = $10,206

c) Double-declining-balance method:

Depreciation rate = 100/3 * 2 = 67%

Depreciation expense per:

Year 1 = $51,300 * 67% = $34,371

Year 2 = $16,929 * 67% =   11,342

Year 3 = $2,887 ($5,587 - $2,700)
