Depreciable cost of asset = Purchase price - Salvage value
= 500000 - 20000
= 480000
Depreciation expense = Depreciable cost / Useful life
= 480000 / 10
= 48000
Total depreciation for 2 years (i.e. 2019 and 2020) = 48000*2 = 96000
Book value at end of 2020 = 500000 - 96000 = 404000
Correct choice B
