(note: round your answer to the nearest cent and do not include spaces, currency signs, or commas)

CORRECT ANSWER: 24592.16

I am assuming the date of purchase is June 21st, 2000. This is all of the information given.

Explanation / Answer

Totral Cost of Building= 228197 + 22004 =250201

Salvage Value= 100000

Life of Building= 30 yrs

Dep using SLM method = (250201-10000)/30= 5006.7 per yr

Dep for 5 yrs= 5006.7*5 = 25033.5
