    Depreciation charged to operations in Year 2 was $210,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the depreciation expense in year 2 is shown below:

    = Ending balance of accumulated depreciation - beginning balance of accumulated depreciation + original cost of property - sale value of the property

    = $800,000 - $600,000 + $50,000 - $40,000

    = $210,000

    We simply take the difference between the ending and opening balance of accumulated depreciation, and original and sale value of the property
