d) $20,000

Answer 1

Answer:

b) $33,000

Explanation:

Capital Expenditure = $20,000

Salvage Value in % = 10%

Useful Life = 4 Years

Salvage Value = Salvage Value% * Capital Expenditure

Salvage Value = 10% * 20,000

Salvage Value = $2,000

Annual Depreciation = (Capital Expenditures - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = ($20,000 - $2,000) / 4

Annual Depreciation = $18,000 / 4

Annual Depreciation = $4,500

Depreciation of 2023E = Depreciation Pre 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2021E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2022E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2023E

Depreciation of 2023E = $15,000 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500

Depreciation of 2023E = $33,000
