Explanation / Answer

Since the equipment is to be depreciated by straight line method, depreciation will be calculated based on straight line method and not as per hours of use method

Depreciation under straight line method

= ($300,000 - $20,000) / 4

= $70,000 per year

So, as per above calculations, option B is the correct option
