Expert Solution

Straight line depreciation

= ( cost – Residual value ) / useful life of the asset

= ( 170000 - 10000 ) / 8

= $ 20000 per year

For half year = 20000/2

= $ 10000

Depreciation provided for 6.5 years ( from 2006 - 2012 ) = 6.5 * 20000

= $ 130000

Accumulated Depreciation = $ 130000 ( at the time of Sale )
