Answer 1

Answer:

A. $5,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement.

Explanation:

Assuming the company uses straight line method of depreciation, then cost of depreciation is $5,000 each year.

Now, under the income statement as per GAAP, the cost of goods sold only includes the direct cost associated with manufacturing the product.

It does not included fixed cost like depreciation.

As the depreciation is fixed and does not depend on number of units produced and sold, the depreciation to be charged in income statement = $5,000.

Therefore, the correct option is

A. $5,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement.
