Total revenue $102,500 $99,400

Property, plant, equipment, gross 2017 = 41300

Depreciation rate = 5.00%

so for 2018 forecasted depreciation expense is

2018 forecasted depreciation expense = gross 2017 × Depreciation rate ........1

2018 forecasted depreciation expense = 41300 × 5%

2018 forecasted depreciation expense = 2065 thousand
