E) None of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) $59,500

Explanation:

The equipment was purchased for 85,000 and has no salvage value which means that all 85,000 will be depreciated over it lifetime. It has a life of 5 years and because it uses straight line method it means that it will depreciate equally each year. The equipment is bought on JAN 1 2010 and sold on July 1 2013 which means that the equipment is used for 3.5 years and in order to find its depreciation we will divide 3.5 by 5 and multiply it by 85,000.

3.5/5*85,000=59,500
