Step-by-step explanation:

Straight line method assumes a gradual depreciation in value of an asset's useful life.

-It's calculated by dividing the difference between an asset's cost and its expected salvage value by the number of years it is expected to be used.

[tex]Dep/yr=(A-Salvage)/n\ \ \ \ \ \ n=15, A=32000\\=(32000-2000)/15\\=2000[/tex]

From our calculation, depreciation is $2,000 per year

Accumulated depreciation=8*2000=$16,000
