    The depreciation expense for 2017 is $4,050

    Explanation:

    The company uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense per year is calculated by following formula:

    Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($103,500 - $22,500) / 5 = $16,200

    Depreciation Expense per month = $16,200/12 = $1,350

    Crane Company places a new asset into service on October 1, 2017. In 2017, the asset has been used for 3 months

    The depreciation expense for 2017 = $1,350 x 3 = $4,050
