Answer:

The book value will be "13,500". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Total acquisition cost,

=  $33,000

Expected,

=  60,000

Depreciation expense per unit  will be:

=  [tex]\frac{33000-3000}{60000}[/tex]

=  [tex]0.50 \ per \ unit[/tex]

For 2015,

Depreciation expense will be:

=  [tex]16000\times 0.50[/tex]

=  [tex]8000[/tex]

For 2016,

Depreciation expense will be:

=  [tex]23000\times 0.50[/tex]

=  [tex]11500[/tex]

Now,

⇒  [tex]Book \ value = Cost - Accumulated \ Depreciation[/tex]

⇒                     [tex]=33000 - (8000+11500)[/tex]

⇒                     [tex]=13500[/tex]
