Answer:

The depreciation rate is option C "0.29 per unit".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Cost of assets,

= $640,000

Salvage value,

= $60,000

Estimated units to be produced,

= 2,000,000 unit

Now,

The depreciation rate will be:

=  [tex]\frac{Cost \ of \ assets-Salvage \ value}{Total \ estimated \ units \ to \ be \ produced}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

=  [tex]\frac{640,000-60,000}{2,000,000}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{580,000}{2,000,000}[/tex]

=  [tex]0.29 \ per \ unit[/tex]
