Answer:

D) $14,000

Explanation:

Description       Estimated life       Cost        Amortization per year

Sales office           10 years         $47,000           $4,700

Warehouse          25 years         $75,000           $7,500

Parking lot            15 years          $18,000            $1,800

total                                                                      $14,000

Even though the useful life or the warehouse and parking lot is longer than 10 years, since the lease contract is only for 10 years, then it must be depreciated in 10 years.
