Explanation / Answer

Answer a. Annual Depreciation = ($270,000 - $54,000) / 18 Years Annual Depreciation = $12,000 Answer b. Accumulated Depreciation Balance at the end of 10th Year = $12,000 X 10 Years Accumulated Depreciation Balance at the end of 10th Year = $120,0000 Book Value at the end of 10th Year = $270,000 - $120,000 Book Value at the end of 10th Year = $150,000 Answer c. Depreciation Expense = ($150,000 - $10,000) / 10 Years Depreciation Expense = $14,000
