Answer 1

a. book value of an asset less its salvage value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The depreciable cost is the cost in which the salvage value or the residual value is deducted from the book value of an asset

In mathematically,

Depreciable cost = Book value of an asset - salvage value

And, the same is used for computing the depreciation expense using the straight line method or units of production method
