A long-term asset currently has a book value of $45,000 and a salvage value of $5,000. It was acquired 3 years ago at a cost of $75,000. If the firm uses straight-line depreciation, how many years is the asset expected to be in service?

  1. 5 years
  2. 4 years
  3. 6 years
  4. 7 years

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In Straight-line method, depreciation = (1/n)*(acquisition cost - salvage value). The accumulated depreciation in 3 years = 75,000 - 45,000 = $30,000. Hence, per year depreciation equals $10,000 = (1/n)*(75,000-5,000).
Thus, n = 7 years, implying the asset will be in service for another 4 years.

  1. -$27,500
  2. $42,000
  3. -$19,000
  4. $69,500
