    Amount of Depreciation expense 2250

    Explanation:

    Situation

    Original Value: $45000

    Residual Value: $22500

    Useful life: 10 years

    To get depreciation expense with Straight-line method you have to get the difference between Original Value and Residual Value, then you divide that difference by the useful life

    depreciation expense = (45000-22500) / 10=2250
