using the straight line method. what is the depreciation expense for a computer that costs 4,500, has a residual value of 700, and has a life of 4 years?

Sagot :

So over 4 years, this computer's value will go from 4,500 to 700. 

That's a difference of 3,800 over 4 years. Straight-line means the amount is the same every year, so 

[tex] \frac{3,800}{4} [/tex] = 950

So the depreciation expense each year is 950.
