Solution :

The EAC of the photocopying machine is = - $ 8,173.14

Please find the attached screenshot of the excel sheet containing the detailed calculation for the solution.

Note :

The formula for calculation of the annual depreciation as per straight line method of depreciation is

Annual depreciation = ( Cost of the Machine – Expected Salvage value ) / No. of years of useful life  

As per the information given in the question we have

Cost of the asset = $ 18,000 ; Salvage value = $ 600 ; No. of years of useful life = 3 years

Applying the above information in the formula we have

= ( $ 18,000 - $ 600 ) / 3

= $ 17,400 / 3 = $ 5,800

Thus the Annual depreciation as per the straight line method is = $ 5,800

Please find the attached screenshot of the excel sheet containing the detailed calculation for the solution.
