d. $402,000.

The correct option is B,$345,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The depreciation charged to operations in the year 2018 is the increase in accumulated depreciation in 2018 compared to 2017 accumulated depreciation i.e the actual depreciation charge incurred in the year 2018 is addition to accumulated depreciation in 2018, which is computed thus:
