Which expression is equivalent to 3^8 ?

Step-by-step explanation:

A. $3,150

B. $2,100

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Given,

Trucks cost price = $40,000

Salvage Value = $8,500

Useful life = 10 years

Since there is no requirement, I am using straight-line depreciation method to calculate the depreciation expense.

We Know,

Depreciation Expenses = (Cost price - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

Therefore,

Depreciation expense = ($40,000 - $8,500)/10

Depreciation Expense = $31,500/10

Depreciation Expense = $3,150

Therefore, under the straight-line method, the depreciation expense will be = $3,150.

B. Given, (When the useful year is 15)

Trucks cost price = $40,000

Salvage Value = $8,500

Useful life = 15 years

Since there is no requirement, I am using straight-line depreciation method to calculate the depreciation expense.

We Know,

Depreciation Expenses = (Cost price - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

Therefore,

Depreciation expense = ($40,000 - $8,500)/15

Depreciation Expense = $31,500/15

Depreciation Expense = $2,100

Therefore, under the straight-line method, the depreciation expense will be = $2,100
