Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($52,000 - $8,000) ÷ (4 years)
= ($44000) ÷ (4 years)
= $11,000
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
a. The depreciation expense for 2019 is $11,000
b. The depreciation expense for 2020 is $11,000
c. The accumulated depreciation for year 2019 is $11,000
d. The accumulated depreciation for year 2020 is $22,000 ($11,000 + $11,000)
e. The book value is
= Original cost - accumulated depreciation
= $52,000 - $22,000
= $30,000
