d. Yes Yes Yes

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Depreciation is the uniform decrease in the value of an asset over a period until the salvage value is reached.

It is given by :

Annual depreciation expense = (cost of asset - salvage)÷ useful life of the asset

Therefore the accumulated depreciation would not equal the original cost of the asset at the end of its estimated useful life because the salvage value will be deducted from cost of asset under declining-Balance.
