Answer:

$6250

$5000

$5250

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($212,000 - $12,000) / 8 = $25,000

The machine was used for only 3 months in the fiscal year. Thus, the depreciation expense = $25,000 x (3/12) = $6250

Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

(1000 / 40,000) x ($212,000 - $12,000) = $5000

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

($212,000 - $12,000) x (525 / 20,0000)  = $5250
