Answer:

Amount of depreciation expense =$5,250

Explanation:

Under the straight line method the same amount is charged as depreciation expense over the estimated useful life of the asset

Initial depreciation = cost - salvage value /number of years

= (25,000 -5000)/5

= 4000 per year

Accumulated depreciation for 4 years= 4000× 3 = 12,000

Revised depreciation = (25,000 -12,000 - 2500)/2

=$5250 per year

Amount of depreciation expense for year 4 =$5250
