Answer 1

Answer:

depreciation expense on machinery $  56,500

Explanation:

880,000 purchased on 2015 with 10 years useful life and 80,000 salvage value: 80,000 depreciation per year:

at the beginning of 2021 book value:

880,000 - 80,000 x 6 years =         300,000 book value

overhaul capitalized expenditures  192,000  

net book value after overhead       492,000

we have 14 years fro mwhich 6 have pass therefore 8 years of useful life

and 40,000 salvage value

depreciation for the year:

(492,000 - 40,000 )/ 8 =  56,500 dollars
