Sum-of-the-year's-digits.   Jon Seceda Furnace Corp. purchased machinery for $315,000 on May 1, 2020. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, salvage value of $15,000, production of 240,000 units, and working hours of 25,000. During 2021, Seceda Corp. uses the machinery for 2,650 hours, and the machinery produces 25,500 units My understanding of the equation is  (Cost-Salvage Value) x Depreciation Fraction = Depreciation Charge. My calculation: ($315,000-$15,000) x 10/55 = 54,545.45 Bartely's answer (which is correct): ($315,000-$15,000) x 10/55 x 4/12 = 18,181.81 ($315,000-$15,000) x 9/55 x 8/12 = 32,727.27 Sum-of-the-Years'-digits = 50,909.08 (add 18,181.81 and 32,727.27) My question is where does the fractions (4/12 and 8/12) come from?

In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,800,000. Additional costs of $920,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 400,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $120,000. To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $208,000. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $109,000 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $5,000 after the mining project is completed. In 2021, 70,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 400,000 to 499,000. During 2022, 109,000 tons were extracted. Required: 1.
