Answer 1

$380,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The accumulated depreciation is the cumulative depreciation of asset. Foxx Corp.'s has accumulated depreciation of $1253000 and $890000 for the year 2021 and 2020. The depreciation expense for the year 2021 will be difference of accumulated depreciation of two years. The depreciation charge will be $1,253,000 - $890,000 = $363,000

The company has also sold a asset which has a carrying value of $57100. The depreciation charge of this asset will be $74,900 - $57,100 = $17,800

The total depreciation expense for the year 2021 is $363,000 + $17,800 = $380,800
