Solution

To calculate the yearly depreciation expense under the straight-line method, you first need to subtract the residual value from the cost of the equipment.

So, 86,000(costoftheequipment)86,000 (cost of the equipment) - 7,000 (residual value) = $79,000.

This is the total amount that will be depreciated over the useful life of the equipment.

Since the useful life of the equipment is four years, you then divide the total depreciation by 4.

So, 79,000÷4=79,000 ÷ 4 = 19,750.

Therefore, the yearly depreciation expense under the straight-line method is $19,750.
