Solution

To calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the initial cost of the machinery, which is $140,000.

  2. Subtract the estimated residual value from the initial cost. The residual value is the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life. In this case, it's 20,000.So,20,000. So, 140,000 - 20,000=20,000 = 120,000. This is the total amount that will be depreciated over the life of the machinery.

  3. Divide the total depreciation by the useful life of the machinery to find the annual depreciation. The useful life is estimated to be 5 years. So, 120,000÷5=120,000 ÷ 5 = 24,000.

So, the annual depreciation to be charged is $24,000.
