Answer:
a. $26,720
Explanation:
Before computing the accumulated depreciation, first we have to compute the original cost of the equipment, after that the depreciation expense. The calculation is shown below:
Original cos t = Equipment purchase cost + freight charges + installment charges
= $68,000 + $2,800 + $8,000
= $78,800
Now the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ estimated life in years
= ($78,800 - $12,000) ÷ 5 years
= $13,360
Now the accumulated depreciation is
= Depreciation expense × number of years
= $13,360 × 2 years
= $26,720
