    The correct answer is $2,580.

    Explanation:

    Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($15,350 - $3,200) / 6 years = $2,025 yearly depreciation expense.

    Accumulated depreciation at Year 3 = $2,025 x 3 = $6,075

    Net book value (NBV) becomes $15,350 - $6,075 = $9,275

    New depreciation is ($9,275 - $1,535) / 3 years = $2,580 yearly depreciation expenses
