Answer 1

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $4,300

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $27,600

Salvage value= $1,800

Useful life= 6 years

To calculate the depreciation expense using the straight-line method, we need the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (27,600 - 1,800) / 6= $4,300
