    A) 227,700

    Depreciation per year = (Cost - Residual value) / Useful life

    Depreciation per year = ($850,000 - $91,000) / 5 = $151,800

    Depreciation provided in the books = $151,800 Ãâ€" 2 years = $303,600

    Revised depreciation for the year 2018 = ($850,000 - $303,600 - $91,000) / 2 = $227,700
