Depreciation Expense Formula : (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
= (52,000 - 8,000) / 4
= 44,000 / 4
= $11,000
Answer 1. Depreciation Expense for 2019 - $11,000 (calculated above)
Answer 2. Depreciation Expense for 2020 - $11,000 (calculated above)
The depreciation expense will remain same as straight-line method is being used.
Answer 3. Accumulated Depreciation as of 12/31/2019 - Depreciation Expense for 2019 = $11,000
Answer 4. Accumulated Depreciation as of 12/31/2020 = Depr Exp for 2019 + Depr Exp for 2020
= $11,000 + $11,000
= $22,000
Answer 5. Book Value as of 12/31/2020 = Original Cost - Accumulated Depreciation as of date
