b. $12,000 and $36,000.

c. $12,000 and $31,000.

Depreciation expense for 2019 and the book value at December 31, 2019 would be: D. $11,000 and $38,000.

Explanation:

Kansas Enterprises uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:  

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of equipment − Residual Value )/Useful Life = ($60,000 - $5,000)/5 = $55,000/5 = $11,000

Depreciation Expense for 2018 = $11,000

Depreciation Expense for 2019 = $11,000

Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 = $11,000 + $11,000 = $22,000

The book value at December 31, 2019 = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 = $60,000 - $22,000 = $38,000
