The machine's first year depreciation expense is $3000.
The units-of-production depreciation method is a depreciation method where the depreciation expense of an equipment depends on the units of a product produced in a given period.
Deprecation expense = (total units produced in year 1 / total units that the machine can produce) x (cost of the asset - salvage value)
Deprecation expense in the first year
(3,000 / 8,000) x ($10,000 - $2,000)
0.375 x $8,000 = $3000
