Respuesta :

Answer:

$2,250

Explanation:

Given;

Cost of machine = $100,000

Residual value = $10,000

Useful life = 10 years

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Residual value ) ÷ useful life

= ($100,000 - $10,000 ) ÷ 10

= $90,000 ÷ 10

= $9,000 per year

Duration from  October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 in year = [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex] years

= 0.25 year

therefore,

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018

=  Annual depreciation × Duration

= $9,000 × 0.25

= $2,250
