Explanation -
In the given case depreciation for the 1st year is calculated by using the straight-line method on a depreciable value of $76,000 ($80,000 - $4,000). Depreciation = $19,000
In the 2nd Year addition of $9,000 increase the depreciation per year to $20,500.
Hence Accumulated Depreciation for 3 Years = $19,000 + $20,500 + $20,500 = $60,000
