Answer:

C .

Step-by-Step explanation

Since the asset is used for 4 months in the current year, calculate the depreciation in the current year for 4 months as follow:

 

Depreciation = [(Cost - Salvage value) ?÷? Estimated life] ?×? 4 months ?÷? 12 months

                    = [($42,000 - $4,000) ?÷? 5 years] ?×? 4 ?÷? 12

                    = $7,600 ?×? 4 ?÷? 12

                    = $2,533.33

 

Thus, the depreciation expense in the current year is $2,533.33
