Solution
Depreciation expense as per straight line method
Formula:
Depreciation expense:
Cost of asset- Residual value Estimated life of asset
(55200-3000)/6 =8700
8700 is the depreciation for full year but since the I'm 2017 the copy machine is used only for 10 months i.e. from March to December so the depreciation expense for 2017 will be: 8700×(10/12)= 7250.
Thus the depreciation expense for December 2017 will be 7250.
