bija089 [108]

Answer:

b. $11250

Explanation:

Capitalized Cost of Equipment = $175,000

Life of Assets = 10 years

Residual value = $25,000

Depreciable value = Cost - Salvage value

Depreciable value = $175,000 - $25,000

Depreciable value = $150,000

Depreciation per year = Depreciable value / Life of assets

Depreciation per year = $150,000/10 years

Depreciation per year = $15,000

Depreciation from April to December 2021 = $15,000*9/12

Depreciation from April to December 2021 = $11,250
