Joel Benson · Answer 1

The correct answer is $37,250.

Explanation:

Under straight-line method, depreciation is an allocation of the cost of an asset over its estimated useful life and it is expressed with this formula: (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($151,000 - $2,000) / 4 years = $37,250 yearly depreciation expense.

So, second year depreciation expense remains $37,250.
