    Accumulated depreciation = $13,500

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Paul Company purchased a dump truck for $25,000. Also, Paul Company paid freight charges of $500, and $800 to paint the company's logo on the truck. The estimated salvage value and useful life are $3,800 and 5 years, respectively.

    First, we need to calculate the total buying price for the truck.

    We need to include the freight and everything required to make it work.

    Buying price = 25,000 + 500 + 800 = $26,300

    Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the accumulated depreciation:

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

    Annual depreciation = (26,300 - 3,800) / 5 = 4,500

    After 3 years:

    Accumulated depreciation = 4,500*3 = $13,500
