Respuesta :

Answer:

$6,400

Explanation:

The computation of depreciation expense is shown below:-

Rate of Depreciation = 1 ÷ 10 × 2

= 0.2

Depreciation year 1 = Purchased cost × Depreciation percentage

= $40,000 × 20%

= $8,000

Depreciation year 2 = Purchased cost - Depreciation year 1 × Depreciation percentage

= $40,000 - $8,000 × 20%

= $32,000 × 20%

= $6,400
