Answer:
Annual depreciation expense is $23,547
Explanation:
In the year 2022 the cost of the building will be written down value.
Using straight line depreciation method : (Cost - Salvage value ) / Useful life
Depreciation in 1994 = ( 2,340,000 - 69,600 ) / 40 years = 56,760
There is addition construction in year 2004 the carrying value of the building will be :
2,340,000 - ( 56,760 * 20 ) = 1,204,800
Depreciation in 2004 : ( 1,204,800 + 585,000 ) - 23,400 / 30 years = 58,880
Carrying value on 2022 :
1,789,800 - ( 58,880 * 18 years) = 729,960
Depreciation expense in 2022:
729,960 / 31years = $23,547
