Respuesta :

Answer:

The depreciation expense for this van be in the first year if Greenland uses the​ straight-line method is $14,500

Explanation:

The depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ estimated life in years

= ($65,000 - $7,000) ÷ 4 years

= $14,500

In the straight-line method, the depreciation expense would remain the same over its useful life i.e 4 years

The original cost is the purchase price of the delivery van.
