Solution

To calculate the book value of the machine after 12 years, we first need to determine the annual depreciation.

Step 1: Calculate the total depreciation over 20 years. The total depreciation is the original value minus the scrap value. So, 500,000500,000 - 40,000 = $460,000.

Step 2: Calculate the annual depreciation. The machine depreciates linearly over 20 years, so we divide the total depreciation by 20. 460,000/20=460,000 / 20 = 23,000. This means the machine depreciates by $23,000 each year.

Step 3: Calculate the depreciation for 12 years. We multiply the annual depreciation by 12. 23,00012=23,000 * 12 = 276,000.

Step 4: Calculate the book value after 12 years. We subtract the depreciation for 12 years from the original value. 500,000500,000 - 276,000 = $224,000.

So, the book value of the machine after 12 years will be $224,000.
