Answer:
Depreciation to be recorded each year in income statement = $8,000
Accumulated depreciation at end of year 1 = $8,000
Accumulated depreciation at end of year 2 = $8,000 + $8,000 = $16,000
Explanation:
Provided information,
Taxi purchased for a value of $36,000
Expected salvage value = $4,000
Estimated life of asset = 4 years
Using straight line depreciation we have,
Depreciation each year = [tex]\frac{36,000 - 4,000}{4} = $8,000[/tex]
Depreciation to be recorded each year in income statement = $8,000
Accumulated depreciation at end of year 1 = $8,000
Accumulated depreciation at end of year 2 = $8,000 + $8,000 = $16,000
