    4.$3,750

    Explanation:

    The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight line method is shown below:

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

    = ($60,000 - $0) : (4 years)

    = ($60,000) : (4 years)

    = $15,000

    But we have to compute for 3 months i. e September 30, 2018 to December 31 2018

    = $15,000 * 3 months : 12 months

    = $3,750
