Answer:

Depreciation charged to operations in Year 2 was $210,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense in year 2 is shown below:

= Ending balance of accumulated depreciation - beginning balance of accumulated depreciation + original cost of property - sale value of the property

= $800,000 - $600,000 + $50,000 - $40,000

= $210,000

We simply take the difference between the ending and opening balance of accumulated depreciation , and original and sale value of the property
