    For 2012 = $7,333

    For 2013 = $11,000

    Explanation:

    The calculation of depreciation expense is shown below:-

    For 2012

    Annual Depreciation = Original Cost - Salvage value : Life of the asset

    = $14,000 - $3,000

    = $11,000

    Depreciation expense for 2012 = Annual Depreciation * Service life : Total number of months in a year

    = $11,000 * 8 : 12

    = $7,333

    Depreciation expense for 2013 (12 months) = $11,000
