Based on the information given  the depreciation expense for year 2 is $4,500.

First step is to calculate depreciation rate per unit

Depreciation rate per unit = ($160,000 - $10,000)/100,000 hours

Depreciation rate per unit=$150,000/100,000 hours

Depreciation rate per unit = $1.50 per machine hour

Second step is to calculate Year 2 depreciation

Year 2 depreciation=3,000 hours x $1.50

Year 2 depreciation= $4,500

Inconclusion the depreciation expense for year 2 is $4,500.
