The asset's book value is $64,800 on june 1, year 3. on that date, management determines that the asset's salvage value should be $6,400 rather than the original estimate of $11,400. based on this information, the amount of depreciation expense the company should recognize during the last six months of year 3 would be:

a. $2,366.37
b. $4,866.67
c. $1,958.33
d. $2,433.33
e. $2,700.00

$2,316.67

Explanation:

From the question we know that the asset is depreciated in 3 years

The monthly depreciation expenses before re-determine savage value

= ($64,800-$11,400)/36 = $1,483.33

Because management determine to reduce $5,000 in salvage value (=$11,400-$6,400) just before 6 months ending depreciation period, then we have to allocate $5,000 in next 6 months.

The depreciation expense during the last six months of Year 3 would be:

= current depreciation expense $1,483.33 + $5,000/6

= $2,316.67

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
