Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense and book value at the end of 2016 is shown below:
But before that first determine the cost of the asset which is
Cost of the asset is
= Purchase price + rear hydraulic lift + sales tax
= $62,000 + $8,000 + $3,000
= $73,000
Now the depreciation expense is
= ($73,000 - $8,000) ÷ (10 years)
= $6,500
ANd, the book value is
= $73,000 - $6,500 × 2
= $60,000
