The depreciation expense would be

=(Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($50,000 - $5,000) ÷ (15 years)

= ($45,000) ÷ (15 years)

= $3,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

The book value would be

= (Original cost of equipment) - (depreciation × number of years)

= ($50,000) - ($3,000 × 5 years)

= $50,000 - $15,000

= $35,000
