Answer:
Annual depreciation= $32,812.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The equipment cost $200,000 and had an estimated life of 8 years and a salvage value of $25,000.
<u>To calculate the annual depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2015:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(200,000 - 25,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $43,750
2016:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(175,000 - 43,750) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $32,812.5
