Respuesta :

Answer:

$207,800

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of machine = $1,100,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Residual value at the end of five years = $61,000

Depreciation refers to the fall in the value of the fixed assets with the passage  of time. Here, we are using the straight-line method.

Depreciation expense per year:

= (Cost of machine - Residual value) ÷ Useful life

= ($1,100,000 - $61,000) ÷ 5 years

= $1,039,000 ÷ 5 years

= $207,800
