Answer:
Accumulated depreciation= $19,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The van cost $40,000 with an estimated life of 5 years and $10,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life.
To calculate the depreciation expense for each year, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2019:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(40,000 - 10,000)/5]= 12,000
2020:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(30,000 - 12,000)/5]= 7,200
Accumulated depreciation= 12,000 + 7,200= $19,200
