Machinery was purchased for $340,000. Freight charges amounted to $14,000 and there was a cost of $40,000 for building a foundation and installing the machinery. It is estimated that the machinery will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method will be a. $78,800. b. $57,200. c. $66,800. d. $56,000.

$66,800

Explanation:

Depreciation is used in expensing the cost of an asset

Depreciation reduces the value of an asset

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

Cost = $340,000. + $14,000 + $40,000 = $394,000

($394,000 - $60,000) / 5 = $66,800

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
