Answer:

The answer is $420,000

Explanation:

To find the amount of depreciation being charged years, we use the following formula:

Cost of the asset ÷ number of useful life

Cost of the asset - $560,000

Number of useful life - 40 years

$560,000 ÷ 40 years

$14,000.

The asset has 30 years remaining, that means it has used 10 years. So the accumulated depreciation is $140,000

And the current value of the building now is $420,000($560,000 - $140,000)

The current value of the building is $420000

The estimated economic life is 40 years, hence after 40 years the value of the house would be 0.

Since the estimated remaining life is 30 years. Hence:

Percentage value of house = 30 remaining years / 40 economic year

Percentage value of house = 0.75 * 100 = 75%

The current value of the building = 75% * $560000 = $420000

The current value of the building is $420000
