d. none of these.

Answer 1

Annual depreciation= $69,166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $460,000

Salvage value= $45,000

Useful life= 6 years

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

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

Annual depreciation= (460,000 - 45,000) / 6

Annual depreciation= $69,166.67
