    B. $6,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the annual depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

    = (Original cost - residual value) : (useful life)

    = ($41,000 - $5,000) : (6 years)

    = ($36,000) : (6 years)

    = $6,000

    The original cost is computed below:

    = Purchase value + transportation and installation cost

    = $40,000 + $1,000

    = $41,000
