Respuesta :

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $31,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $315,000

Useful life= 10 years

Salvage value= $5,000

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (315,000 - 5,000) / 10

Annual depreciation= 310,000/10

Annual depreciation= $31,000
