Answer:
Annual depreciation= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A lumber company purchases and installs a wood chipper for $280,000. The chipper’s useful life is 15 years. The estimated salvage value at the end of 15 years is $40,000.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (280,000 - 40,000)/15= $16,000
