Answer:
a. For Asset 1, we have:
Total cost = $5,864
Total depreciation = $5,264
Annual depreciation = $877.33
b. For Asset 2, we have:
Total cost = $17,210
Total depreciation = $15,310
Annual depreciation = $3,827.50

The explanation of the answers is now given as follow:
Straight line method is a method of calculating depreciation and amortization of an asset by dividing the difference between the total cost and salvage value of an asset by its estimated useful life.
Therefore, wee have:
a. For Asset 1, we have:
Total cost = Cost + Shipping Charges + Setup Charge = $5,600 + $210 + $54 = $5,864
Total depreciation = Total cost - Salvage Value = $5,864.00 = $600 = $5,264
Annual depreciation = Total depreciation / Estimated Useful Life = $5,264 / 6 = $877.33
b. For Asset 2, we have:
Total cost = Cost + Shipping Charges + Setup Charge = $16,900 + $310 + $0 = $17,210
Total depreciation = Total cost - Salvage Value = $17,210 - $1,900 = $15,310
Annual depreciation = Total depreciation / Estimated Useful Life = $15,310 / 4 = $3,827.50
