Deshawn · Answer 1

The answer is $1,402,000

Explanation:

Cost of an asset is the total cost of acquiring and asset plus the cost incurred in bringing the asset to a working condition e. g cost of transporting the asset to factory, cost of installation etc.

Cost of the machine is:

Cost of acquisition $4,000,000

Cost of installation. $10,000

Building a clean room. $3,000,000

Total cost is. $7,010,000

No salvage value

Useful life is 5 years

Cost of depreciation using the straight-line method is

(cost of the asset - salvage value) : number of useful life

$7,010,000 : 5

= $1,402,000
