Answer #1

Solution:-

Depreciation Under Straight Line Method is calculated as follows :-

Depreciation = Cost of an asset - Estimated salvage value / Useful Life

Depreciation base is the value of the asset to be written off over time. Under Straight line Method,

Depreciation Base = Cost of an Asset - Salvage value of an Asset

In This Case,

Cost of an Asset = $ 175100

Estimated salvage value = $ 14700

Depreciation Base = $ 175100 - $ 14700

= $ 160400
