Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of machine =      $192,000

Readying cost =               6,000

Total =                        $198,000

Useful life = 6 years

Salvage value =          $23,040

Depreciable amount $174,960

Depreciation per year = $29,160 ($174,960/6)

Accumulated Depreciation after 5 years = $145,800 ($29,160 x 5)

Book value after 5 years = $52,200

Method of Depreciation = Straight-line
