    The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2023 = $88,800.

    Explanation:

    Determining the actual acquisition cost.

    The actual acquisition cost = Purchase value + freight charges + Installation costs.

    The actual acquisition cost = 460,000 + 15,000 + 34,000.

    The actual acquisition cost = $509,000.

    Determining the depreciable cost.

    The depreciable cost = acquisition cost - Salvage value.

    The depreciable cost = 509,000 - 65000.

    The depreciable cost = $444,000.

    Determining annual depreciation expense.

    Annual depreciation expense = depreciable cost / number of years.

    Annual depreciation expense = 444,000 / 10.

    Annual depreciation expense = 44,400.

    Determining the accumulated depreciation.

    The accumulated depreciation = annual depreciation expense * number of years.

    The accumulated depreciation = 44,400 * 2.

    The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2023 = $88,800.
