Explanation / Answer
1. Acquisitition cost=purchase price+ fright charges+installation cost
=$10,000+$100+$600
=$10,700
2.
Depriciation expense of year:
=(Acquisitition cost-residual value)/useful life
=(10700-1100)/10 years
=$960 per year
3.
Book value at end of second year=acquisitition cost -accumulated depriciation
=$10,700-(960×2)
=$8.780
