Q: Adjusted the records to reflect the use of the cooktop.

Under straight-line the company will recognize the same amount of depreciation over the course of the assets life. At year-end the company will adjsut for the loss in value for the asset generated for the past of time.

$\frac{cost - salvage \: \:value}{useful \:\: life}$

$\frac{40,000- 4,000}{4}$

depreciation per year: 9,000

operating income:

revenues                      72,000

salaries expense:        (25,000)

depreciation per year:  (9,000)

          total                    41,000
