Answer:

$709,100

Explanation:

Cost of the building = $30150000

Average accumulated expenditures = $12500000

Actual interest = $1230000

Avoidable interest =  $604000

Salvage value = $2390000

Useful life = 40 years

Depreciation expense for the first full year:

= ((Cost of the building + Avoidable interest) - Salvage value) / Useful life

= [($30150000 + $604000) - $2390000] / 40

= [$30754000 - $2390000] / 40

= $28364000 / 40

= $709,100

So, the depreciation expense for the first full year using the straight-line method is $709,100.
