Answer 1

Depreciation expense= $9,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

A company purchased factory equipment on April 1, 2022 for $128,000. 10-year useful life.

We weren't provided with the salvage value.

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:

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

Annual depreciation= 128,000/10= 12,800

Now, for 9 months:

Depreciation expense= (12,800/12)*9= $9,600
