Cullumber Limited purchased equipment on February $1,2024,$ at a cost of $$186,600.$ As the CFO of the company, you are considering

the merits of using the diminishing$-$balance or units$-$of$-$production method of depreciation instead of the straight$-$line method, whichis currently being used for other equipment. The new equipment has an estimated residual value of $$10,000$ and an estimated useful

life of either five years or $88,300$ units. Demand for the products produced by the equipment is sporadic so the equipment will be used

more in some years than in others. Assume the equipment produces the following numbers of units each year: $14,600$ units in $2024$;

$26,000$ units in $2025$; $20,000$ units in $2026$; $15,000$ units in $2027$; $12,000$ units in $2028$; and $700$ units in $2029.$ Cullumber has a

December $31$ year end. Prepare separate depreciation schedules for the life of equipment. $(1)$ straight$-$line method $(2)$ double$-$diminishing$-$balance method $(3)$ units$-$of$-$production methodPrepare separate depreciation schedules for the life of the equipment using: $($Round depreciation per unit to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.5\mathrm{.}28$ and final answers to $0$ decimal places, e$.$g$.5,275.)$ Note: I could not fit all $3$ tables into the screenshot but I do need all of $3$ of them. The first collum of: $(1)$ straight$-$line method is "depreciable amount" and the following $3$ collums are the same as the other $2.$ methods
