*Straight-line depreciation for 2021:$5,050.
Workings:
*Straight-line method of depreciation: Depreciable cost is the cost of the asset less its salvage value. we divide the depreciable cost by the asset’s useful life;
*Straight-line depreciation = Cost - Salvage value / No. of useful life;
*Straight-line depreciation = $130,000 - $29,000 / 5 years = $101,000 / 5 years;
*Straight-line depreciation = $20,200 per year.
*For October 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021. So, the number of months= 3 Months.
*Straight-line depreciation for 2021: [$20,200 * 3Months/12Months];
*Straight-line depreciation for 2021: $5,050.
