Answer:
=$25,400
Explanation:
The cost of the compute was $56,000
The residual value was 5000
Useful life is 5 years
Using the straight-line depreciation method, book value after three years will be
The depreciable amount will be the asset cost value - residual value
= $56,000 - $5000
= $51,000
The depreciation rate will be 1/5 year x 100 = 20%
depreciation per year will be 20% x 51,000
= 20/100 x 51,000
=$10,200
Depreciation for three years will be $10,200 x 3= $30,600
The book value after 3 years :
Book value = original cost - accumulated depreciation
= $56,000 - $30,600
=$25,400
