The correct answer is : $5,910

Explanation:

Depreciation can be defined as the value of a business, company or organization asset over its useful life. It is an accounting mechanism that shows the expense of using an asset over time. To make the calculation we have to take the useful life of the asset, less the salvage value and finally divided it by the cost of the asset.
