Answer:

Part 1. The amount of depreciation expense appearing on the Year 4 income statement is $17,000

Part 2. The amount of accumulated depreciation appearing on the December 31, Year 4 is $ 68,000

Explanation:

Part 1. The amount of depreciation expense appearing on the Year 4 income statement

Anon depreciates its assets using the straight-line method of depreciation. This means that the depreciation expense will be the same for every year.

The Depreciation expense is calculated as:

=(Cost - Salvage Value)/ Number of Useful Life

=($110,000 - $8,000) / 6 years

= $17,000

Thus depreciation expense in year 4 is $17,000

Part 2. The amount of accumulated depreciation appearing on the December 31, Year 4

Accumulated Depreciation is the Total Depreciation Charge on the Asset to date.

Total Depreciation Charge (Accumulated Depreciation) in year 4 is thus:

$17,000 × 4 years

$ 68,000

Thus Accumulated Depreciation is $ 68,000
