Blue Spruce Company uses special strapping equipment in its packaging business. The equipment was purchased in January 2019 for $5,100,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. At December 31, 2020, new technology was introduced that would accelerate the obsolescence of Blue Spruce’s equipment. Blue Spruce’s controller estimates that expected future net cash flows on the equipment will be $3,187,500 and that the fair value of the equipment is $2,805,000. Blue Spruce intends to continue using the equipment, but it is estimated that the remaining useful life is 4 years. Blue Spruce uses straight-line depreciation.


What is the carrying value of the equipment at December 31, 2020?
