A company purchased a weaving machine for $190,000. The machine has a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $10,000. It is estimated that the machine could produce 75,000 bolts of woven fabric over its useful life. In the first year, 15,000 bolts were produced. In the second year, production increased to 19,000 units.
-Using the units-of-production method, what is the amount of accumulated depreciation at the end of the second year?

The units-of-production depreciation method calculates depreciation based on actual usage. The depreciation per unit is ($190,000 - $10,000) / 75,000 = $2.40 per bolt. For the first year: 15,000 bolts x $2.40 = $36,000. For the second year: 19,000 bolts x $2.40 = $45,600. Accumulated depreciation at the end of the second year is $36,000 + $45,600 = $81,600.
