    Annual depreciation for the first two years is $4,910.00

    Book value at the end of year 2 $44,180.00

    depreciation expense for each of the remaining years after revision is $21,110.00

    Explanation:

    The initial depreciation = cost-salvage value/useful life

    cost was $54,000

    salvage value is $4,900

    useful life was 10 years

    initial depreciation charge = ($54,000-$4,900) / 10=$4,910.00

    Book value at the end of year 2=cost-depreciation for first 2 years

    book value at the end of year 2=$54,000 - ($ 4,910*2) = $44,180.00

    Depreciation expense for remaining years = ($44,180-$1,960) / 2=$21,110.00
