Answer:

Annual depreciation= $51,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $314,000

Salvage value= $57,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (314,000 - 57,000) / 5

Annual depreciation= $51,400

The depreciation expense is the same every year.
