Answer:

b. $31,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight-line method for the second year is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($127,000- $3,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($124,000) ÷ (4 years)

= $31,000

Hence, the correct option is b. $31,000

The units are to be ignored as the method i.e used is straight line so the same is to be considered
