Kansas Enterprises

Formula for Depreciation expenses

Annual depreciation expense=(Cost-Residual value)/Useful Life

Where,

Cost = 72,500

Residual value =7,950

Useful life = 5 years

Let plug in the formula

=(72,500-7950)/5

=64,550/5

=$12,910/year

Therefore depreciation expense for 2021

=$12,910

Calulation for Book value

Book value = $72,500 – ($12,910× 2)

$72,500 -$25,820

=$46,680

Therefore the book value would be $46,680
