Hello. Could someone please help me figure out what I am doing wrong under section B? I am doing the product unit formula for depreciation but I keep getting an answer different to the one on the answer sheet, for charge in year 2. The correct answer is (117,300) and I keep getting (89,148). Thank you in advance.
