Required
Answer (a):
Annual depreciation = (Cost - salvage value) /Useful life = (260000 - 20000) / 10 = $24,000
Depreciation per year from Year 2010 to Year 2014 = $24,000
On August 1, 2015, Felix exchanged the old machine for a newer model.
Depreciation for year 2015 upto Aug 1 = 24000 * 7/ 12 = $14,000
Accumulated Depreciation of the machine upto date of the exchange = $134,000
