Answer:

The correct answer is $23,663

Explanation:

Spreadsheet is attached with the calculus.  

Depreciation expense is the difference between the cost of the asset and the residual value, divided by the useful life of the asset.

Depreciation expense=(original cost-residual cost) /useful life

In this case,  conditions change at third year.  First, we must calculate the depreciation expense with the first situation. The first 2 years , we are going to decrease the asset value  with this depreciation expense.

Situation 1  Depreciation expense 14375

At third year ,  we must recalculate the depreciation expense.  The final value of second years is the  new "original value".

Situation 2

Original Value  97250

Residual Value  2600

Useful life  4

Depreciation expense= (97250 - 2600 )/4

Depreciation expense= 23,663
