Respuesta :

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $17,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $375,000

Useful life= 20 years

Salvage value= $25,000

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (375,000 - 25,000) / 20

Annual depreciation= $17,500
