Answer 1

year	depreciation expense	accumulated deprecition
2015	18,000	18,000
2016	18,000	36,000
2017	14,400	50,400
2018	14,400	64,800
2019	14,400	79,200
2020	17,900	97,100
2021	17,900	115,000.

working:

annual depreciation during 2015 and 2016.

=> (cost - salvage value ) / life in years

=> ($120,000 - $12,000) / 6 years

=>$18,000.

annual depreciation during 2017,2018,2019.

(book value - salvage value) / remaining life.

here,

book value = cost - accumulated depreciation till 2016

=>120,000 - 36,000

=>84,000.

now,

depreciation for given years

=>(84,000 - 12,000) / 5 years..................(7 years revised life - 2 years expired till 2016).

=>$14,400..

depreciation for 2020 and 2021.

(book value - salvage value) / years remaining

here,

book value =120,000 - 79,200 accumulated depreciation

=>$40,800.

salvage value = 5000

years remaining =2.

so annual depreciation during 2020 and 2021

=(40,800-5,000)/2

=>$17,900
