D. $3,000.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. $3,500

Explanation:

The formula for a straight-line method of depreciation is provided  below:

annual depreciation charge=(cost-salvage value)/useful life

cost of the new truck=$42,000

salvage value=$0

useful life=7 years

depreciation=($42,000-$0)/7=$6,000( same as given in the question)

The truck was used for 7 months in the first year ended, from June 1 2019 to December 31 2019

Depreciation for the first year=$6000*7/12=$3,500
