(Round

Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Purchase price= $67,560

Salvage value= $6,900

Useful life= 6 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

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

Annual depreciation= (67,560 - 6,900) / 6

Annual depreciation= $10,110

2022:

Annual depreciation= (10,110/12)*3= $2,527.5

2023:

Annual depreciation= $10,110
