    Annual depreciation = $9400

    Explanation:

    The new logging equipment has been purchased by paying $88000 in cash along with the exchange of the old equipment which has a book value of $9000, this means the cost of the new logging equipment to the wood product company is the accumulated amount of cash and exchange (i. e cash paid+value of asset traded = $88000 + $9000), therefore the the new logging equipment will be recorded at a price of $97000.

    Now, under the straight line method an equal amount of depreciation is charged against the cost of the equipment. The formula is as follows:

    Depreciation = Cost - salvage value : useful life

    Annual depreciation = $97000 - $3000 : 10

    Annual depreciation = $9400
