Answer #1

Answer-a)- Depreciable cost = $49000.

b)- Straight- line rate =20%.

c)- Annual straight-line depreciation = $9800.

Explanation- Straight line Method-Depreciation Expense Annual

= Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset/No. of useful life (years)

=($53600-$4600)/5 years

=$49000/5 years

= $9800

Depreciable cost = Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset

= $53600-$4600

= $49000

Straight- line rate = (Annual depreciation/ Depreciable cost)*100

= ($9900/$49000)*100

= 20%
