Sagot :

Answer:

a. $2,600

b. $5,900

c. $3400

Explanation:

straight line depreciation =( cost of asset - salvage value ) / useful life

($29,500 - $3500) / 10 = $2,600

Double declining = 2 x ( cost of asset / useful life )

(2 x $29,500) / 10 = $5,900

Activity based = ( hours used in year / total number of hours) x (cost of asset - salvage value)

(1700 / 13000) x ($29,500 - $3500) =$3400
