Using the following information, a Mexican corporation is computing the depreciation expense for apiece of manufacturing equipment that it purchased at the start of the current year. The company takes a full year's depreciation in the year of acquisition.
| Cost of equipment | MXN2,000,000 |
| Estimated residual value | MXN200,000 |
| Expected useful life | 10 years |
| Total productive capacity | 5,000,000 units |
| Production during year | 800,000 units |
The depreciation expense (in MXN) will most likely be higher by:
The difference between the double-declining balance method and the units-of-production method(in MXN)is 400,000-288,000 = 112,000.
