When originally purchased, a vehicle costing $23,040 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,600. After 4 years of straight-line depreciation, the asset's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage value. The depreciation expense in year 5 equals:
a. $ 5,375.00.
b. $ 2,687.50.

Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of cost to an asset based on estimates. It is given as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
When originally purchased, a vehicle costing $23,040 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,600
Annual depreciation = ($23,040 - $1,600)/8
= $2,680
After 4 years
Accumulated depreciation = 4 × $2,680
= $10,720
The net book value then
= $23,040 - $10,720
= $12,320
Since the asset's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage value
New depreciation = ($12,320 - $1,600)/2
= $5,360
The depreciation expense in year 5 equals $5,360
