The intial cost of the equipment is C, which is given as 85,600.
The present value is PV, which is given as 30,400.
This simply means the total depreciation over the last 6 years can be derived as;
Depreciation = C - PV
Depreciation = 85600 - 30400
Depreciation = 55200
However, the method of depreciation is not given/specified, and hence the question requires that you calculate the average depreciation per year. That is, the total depreciation would be evenly spread over the 6 year period (which assumes that the depreciation per year is the same figure)
Average depreciation = Total depreciation/6
Average Depreciation = 55200/6
Average Depreciation = 9200
The correct option is option G: $ 9,200
