Answer:

$20 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The net of accumulated depreciation is the cost of the road minus accumulated depreciation till date.

Accumulated depreciation=yearly depreciation* 20 years

yearly depreciation=cost/useful life

cost is $30 million

useful life is 60 years

yearly depreciation=$30 million/60 years=$500,000 per yer

accumulated depreciation=$500,000*20=$10 millon

net of accumulated depreciation=$30 million-$10 million

net of accumulated depreciation=$20 million

As a result,option A is the correct answer
