    the depreciation expense for 2022 is $3,000

    Explanation:

    Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the period of use of an asset.

    Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of useful life

    = ($81000 - $21000) / 5

    = $12,000

    The Annual depreciation charge for this machine will be $12,000 for each of the years that it is used in the business.

    However since it was paced in use during the year that is 1 October, we have to apportion the Annual charge withe number of months that its has been in use during 2022.

    It has been used for 3 months thus depreciation charge is:

    Depreciation = 3 / 12 * $12,000

    = $3,000
