Answer:

B. Depreciation expense: $17,000 Accumulated expense: $68,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is the reduction in the value of an asset over time. Usually caused due to wear and tear. Straight-line depreciation is when the same amount is reduced as depreciation every year.

If the asset was valued at $110,000 and the residual value is $8000, then the total depreciation value over time is $110,000 - $8000 = $102,000.

The asset was used for 6 years, thus annual depreciation is $102,000 / 6 = $17,000.

The depreciation expense for the 4th year would be $17,000 which would be shown in the income statement.

The accumulated depreciation shown in the balance sheet would contain the total depreciation amounts of all 4 years (4 x $17000). Hence, being $68,000.
