Equipment costing $70,000 with a salvage value of $14,000 and an estimated life of 8 years has been depreciated using the straight-line method for 2 years. assuming a revised estimated total life of 6 years and no change in the salvage value, the depreciation expense for year 3 would be
a. $10,500.
b. $9,333.
c. $14,000.
d. $7,000.

depreciation expense =  $10500

correct option is a. $10,500

Explanation:

given data

Equipment costing  = $70,000

salvage value = $14,000

estimated life =  8 years

revised estimated total life = 6 years

to find out

depreciation expense

solution

we know that Depreciation expense per year is here express as

Depreciation expense =  (cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful life      ...................1

put here value we get

Depreciation expense  =

Depreciation expense  = $7000 per year

so

book value as on beginning of year 3 is = 70000 - (7000 × 2)

book value as on beginning of year 3 is $56000

so

depreciation expense will be

depreciation expense =  

depreciation expense =  $10500

correct option is a. $10,500
