machine is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, a residual value of zero, and a
production capacity of 120 000 units before it is scrapped. The Novice Corporation uses
the units-of-production method to calculate depreciation. For the year ending 31
December 2018, the depreciation was $16 000. The number of units produced during
2019 is 30 000. The carrying amount of the machine at 31 December 2019 is:

e) $60 000
