Sagot :

Answer:

$2914

Explanation:

The following steps would be taken to determine the answer

1. Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information  

2. calculate the accumulated depreciation by the second year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense

3. subtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value  

4. calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book value

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($9,920 - $1240) / 5 =  $1736

Accumulated depreciation = 1736 x 2 = $3472

Book value at the beginning of 2021 = 9920 - 3472 = $6448

Depreciation expense in 2021 = (6448 - 620) / 2 = $2914
