Respuesta :

Answer:

annual depreciation expense = $6000

so correct option is d. $6,000

Explanation:

given data

machine costing = $40,000

transportation and installation = $1,000

useful life = 6 years

residual value = $5,000

to find out

How much is the annual depreciation expense

solution

we get here first Cost of machine that is

Cost = $40,000 + $1000

cost = $41000

so depreciable base will be here

Depreciable base  = cost - residual value

Depreciable base  = 41000 - 5000

Depreciable base  = $36,000

so annual depreciation expense is

annual depreciation expense = [tex]\frac{36000}{6}[/tex]

annual depreciation expense = $6000

so correct option is d. $6,000
