Solution

To calculate the annual depreciation expense, you need to subtract the salvage value from the initial cost and then divide by the useful life of the asset. Here are the steps:

  1. Subtract the salvage value from the initial cost: 8,7478,747 - 631 = $8,116. This is the total amount that will be depreciated over the life of the machine.

  2. Divide the total depreciation by the useful life of the machine: 8,116÷7years=8,116 ÷ 7 years = 1,159.43.

So, Bob will record a depreciation expense of $1,159.43 each year.
