Answer:

The second year depreciation expense is $1,395

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2 using the straight-line method is shown below:

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

= ($8,255 - $1,280) ÷ (5 years)

= ($6,975) ÷ (5 years)

= $1,395

Under this method, the depreciation expense would be the same for all the remaining useful life

hence, the second year depreciation expense is $1,395
