Damian Ibarra · Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation: The accumulated expenditure for the second quarter could be calculated by considering the expenditure as per the basis of time perios:-

For april = $60,000 * (3/3) = $60,000

For june = $90,000 * (1/3) = $30,000

For rest = $100,000 * (1.5/3) = $50,000

Hence the total accumlated depreciation is $140,000.
