    c. $10,000

    Explanation:

    Depreciation per year = (Cost of equipment - Salvage) / useful life

    Depreciation for 1 year (Jan 1,2006 - Jan, 2007) = (60000-0) / 3 = 20,000

    However, on January 2007, the remaining useful life will change from 2 years to 5-1 = 4 years

    Beginning 2007,

    accumulated depreciation = 20,000

    Remaining Book value of equipment = 60,000 - 20,000 = 40,000

    Depreciation for Year 2007 will be = ($40,000 - 0) / 4 = $10,000
