Answer:
2. $7,400
Explanation:
Depreciation is calculated by first establishing the depreciable value of an asset. Depreciable cost is Asset cost - Salvage value.
In the case: $40,000- $3000= $37,000
Under straight depreciation, depreciation is equal throughout the life of an asset.
For a five year use-life life, rate of depreciation = 1/5 x 100= 20 percent:
20% of $37,000= $7,400.00
If 1st depreciation is $7400, second-year depreciation will be $7400
