Answer:
$2914
Explanation:
The following steps would be taken to determine the answer
1. Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information
2. calculate the accumulated depreciation by the second year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense
3. subtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value
4. calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book value
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($9,920 - $1240) / 5 = $1736
Accumulated depreciation = 1736 x 2 = $3472
Book value at the beginning of 2021 = 9920 - 3472 = $6448
Depreciation expense in 2021 = (6448 - 620) / 2 = $2914
