    b. $75,000

    Explanation:

    Depreciable cost is the amount of an asset's cost that will be depreciated. Depreciable cost is calculated by using purchase and installation cost of a fixed asset, minus its estimated salvage value at the end of its useful life.

    Depreciable cost = Total asset cost - salvage value = $90,000 - $15,000 = $75,000

    The company then uses a depreciation method, such as the straight-line method, to calculate depreciation expense of the equipment.

    Example:

    Annual Depreciation expense = $75,000/6 = $12,500
