Trouble Company

The Depreciation Expense for 2016 is:

$11,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of equipment = $60,000

Purchase date = January 1, 2016

Estimated Salvage value = $5,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Depreciable amount = $55,000 ($60,000 - $5,000)

Depreciation rate per year under the straight-line method = $55,000/5

= $11,000

Under the straight-line depreciation method, Trouble Company will continue to deduct $11,000 as the depreciation expense on the equipment until the end of its useful life or any other preceding event affecting the equipment.
