Answer:

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $16,750

Explanation:

We know,

Depreciation expense under the straight-line  method = (Cost price - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

We know that the depreciation expense under the straight-line  method is always equal over the useful life.

Given,

The cost price of a machine = $76,000

Salvage value = $9,000

Useful life = 4 years

Therefore,

Depreciation expense for year 4 = ($76,000 - $9,000) ÷ 4 years

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $67,000 ÷ 4 years

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $16,750
