Martin Company purchases a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $76,000. The machine is depreciated using the straight-line
method. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 4 years with a $9,000 salvage value. Depreciation expense in year 4 is:

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $16,750

Explanation:

We know,

Depreciation expense under the straight-line  method = (Cost price - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

We know that the depreciation expense under the straight-line  method is always equal over the useful life.

Given,

The cost price of a machine = $76,000

Salvage value = $9,000

Useful life = 4 years

Therefore,

Depreciation expense for year 4 = ($76,000 - $9,000) ÷ 4 years

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $67,000 ÷ 4 years

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $16,750

world war i had a devastating effect on german-americans and their cultural heritage. up until that point   german-americans, as a group, had been spared much of the discrimination, abuse, rejection, collective mistrust experienced by so many different racial and ethnic groups in the history of the united states. indeed, over the years, they had been viewed as a well integrated and esteemed part of american society. all of this change with the outbreak of war.
