Computation of Annual Straight Line Depreciation:

Book Value at the Beginning of 2018 = Asset Cost - Accumulated Depreciation till 2017

= $2,704,000 - $1,983,000

= $721,000

 

Annual Straight Line Depreciation = (Book Value at the Beginning of 2018 - Salvage Value)/Remaining Estimated Life

= ($721,000 - $196,000)/(6-3)

= $525,000/3

Annual Straight Line Depreciation = $175,000
