    Tge residual values is $2,580

    Explanation:

    Given

    Cost = $43,800

    Time/Life = 8 years

    Residual value = $3,000.

    First, we calculate the depreciation.

    Depreciation is calculated as follows;

    Depreciation = (Cost - Residual) / Time

    Depreciation = ($43,800 - $3,000) / 8

    Depreciation = $40,800/8

    Depreciation = $5,100

    Then we calculate the total depreciation before the beginning of year 6

    Total Depreciation = $5,100. * (6 - 1)

    Total Depreciation = $5,100 * 5

    Total Depreciation = $25,500

    So, the net value before year 6 is

    Net Value = Cost - Total Depreciation

    Net Value = $43,800 - $25,500

    Net Value = $18,300

    At the beginning of the sixth year, an extraordinary repair was made costing $7,500, so, extended repair value = $7,500 + $18,300 = $25,800

    If the estimated useful life was extended to 15 years, then useful life = 15 - 5 = 10 years

    Depreciation Expense Year 6 = Extended Repair Value/Useful Life

    = $25,800/10

    = $2,580

    Hence, depreciation = $2,580

    The answer is $2,280

    Explanation:

    The formula for straight line depreciation method is:

    (Cost - residual value) : number of useful years.

    ($43,800 - $3,000) : 8

    =$5,100

    Depreciation for 5 years will now be: $5100 x 5 = $25,500.

    The carrying amount of the machine at the beginning of the sixth year will be:

    $43,800 - $25,500

    =$18,300.

    The extraordinary repair of $7,500 will be capitalized. So we now have:

    $18,300 + $7,500

    =$25,800.

    With this, the estimated useful life is now 15 years but we need to subtract the 5 years that had been used from 15 years. The new useful life is now 10years (15years - 5 years)

    Therefore, depreciation for the sixth year is:

    ($25,800 - $3,000) : 10

    =$2,280
