Answer 1

1. Depreciation Expense = (Gross PPE 2021 - Net PPE 2021) - (Gross PPE 2020 - Net PPE 2020) + Depreciation on Sold Equipment

Depreciation Expense = (346000 - 207000) - (270500 - 17500) + (Sale Value - Gain on Sale) * 70%/30%

Depreciation Expense = $44000 + (220000 - 3850) * 70%/30% = $86350
