Answer:

C. $160,500.

Explanation:

Depreciation: The depreciation is an expense that shows a reduction in the value of the fixed assets due to tear and wear, obsolesce, usage, time period, etc. It is shown on the debit side of the income statement. It is a non-cash item that does not affect the cash balance.

The formula to compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ useful life

The original cost is the purchase value of the assets

The residual value is the salvage value at the end of its useful life
