Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2020 is $215,100

Explanation:

Given

Claxton Company purchased a van on January 1, 2018, for $820,000.

Useful life = 5 years

Residual value = $103,000

Annual depreciation = ($820,000- $103,000)/5

= $717,000/5

= $143,400

At the beginning of 2020, the asset would have been depreciated for 2 years (2018 and 2019)

Net book value = $820,000 - 2($143,400)

= $533,200

Since the residual value remains the same after a revision of the estimated useful life from 5 years to 4 years

The asset would only have 2 years left for depreciation.

Annual depreciation = ($533,200 - $103,000)/2

= $430,200/2

= $215,100
