The cost of the two-year-old machine is $210,000. It has an estimated residual value of $40,000, and has an estimated useful life of four years. The company uses straight-line depreciation.

Required:
Calculate the book value of the machine at the end of second year. (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
 
  Book value $  
 

Explanation:  
   
  Machinery (original cost) $ 210,000  
  Accumulated depreciation at end of year 2    
    Depreciation expense = ($210,000 cost – $40,000 residual value) ×
      1/4 years = $42,500
   
    Accumulated depreciation = $42,500 annual depreciation expense × 2 yrs =   85,000  
 

  Book value at the end of the second year $ 125,000
