Depreciation Expense for 2018; $10,528.57  

Explanation:

On January 2, 2016

machine cost = $100,000

Useful life = 10 years

Annual depreciation = ($100,000 - $6000)/10

                                  = $9,400

By early 2018,

Carrying amount of the machine

= $100,000 - 2($9,400)

= $100,000 - $18,800

= $81,200

Useful life is reassessed to 7 years (rather than 8) with a salvage value of $7,500

Annual Depreciation = ($81,200 - $7,500)/7

                                  =  $73,700/7

                                  =  $10,528.57
