​

Answer 1

Answer:

d. BD 2,500

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation through the end of year 4 = [ Asset's cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated Useful Life] * Years Elapsed

= [(23,000 - 3,000)/8] * 4

= BD 10,000

Depreciation in Year 3 = [Asset's cost - Salvage Value - Accumulated Depreciation] / Remaining Estimated Useful Life

Depreciation in Year 3 = [23,000 - 3,000 - 10,000] / 4

Depreciation in Year 3 = 10,000 / 4

Depreciation in Year 3 = BD 2,500
