(a) Compute the depreciation expense under straight-line method for 2022. 2022 Depreciation expense $enter depreciation expense amount in dollar

Answer 1

The depreciation expense under straight-line method for 2022 is $5225.

What is the depreciation expense?

The straight-line depreciation allocates the depreciation expense evenly over the useful life of an asset.

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

(115,000 - $10,500) / 5 = $20,900

Depreciation expense in 2022 = 3/12 x 20,900  = $5225
