Answer:

Annual Depreciation expense = $15695.7692  rounded off to  $15695.77

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the cost of the equipment. The cost at which an equipment or asset should be recorded should include all the costs incurred to bring the asset into the place and condition necessary for its use as intended by the management. Thus the cost of the equipment will be,

Cost = 165891 + 42172

Cost = $208063

Now we can calculate the depreciation expense per year based on the straight line depreciation method using the following formula,

Annual Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated useful life

Annual Depreciation expense = (208063 - 4018) / 13

Annual Depreciation expense = $15695.7692  rounded off to  $15695.77
