Answer:

$14,333.33

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to P/l as a measure of use. It is added over the years as accumulated depreciation which is deducted from cost to get the net book value of the asset. Salvage value is the estimated realizable cost of an asset after its useful life.

Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life

Cost of an asset includes all cost incurred to make the asset available for use.

Depreciation = ($86000 + $7000 - $5000)/6

= $88000/6

= $14,333.33
