Answer:
b. $4,908,000
Explanation:
According to the FASB GAAP, the straight line method is used in this given question which is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ (15 years)
= ($36,810,000) ÷ (15 years)
= $2,454,000
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
For two years, the accumulated depreciation would be
= Annual year depreciation × number of years
= $2,454,000 × 2 years
= $4,908,000
