Answer:
Annual depreciation= $2,480
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Purchase price= $16,950
Useful life= 5 years
Residual value= $4,200
<u>First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3.</u>
Annual depreciation= (Total Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (16,950 - 4,200) / 5
Annual depreciation= $2,550
Accumulated depreciation= 2,550*3= $7,650
<u>Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:</u>
Depreciable value= 16,950 - 7,650= $9,300
Useful life= 3 years
Salvage value= $1,860
Annual depreciation= (9,300 - 1,860) / 3
Annual depreciation= $2,480
