    2018: 8 months

    Depreciation = $916,67

    2019: full year

    Depreciation = $1375

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Taco Hut purchased equipment on May 1, 2018.

    Price: $15,000.

    Residual value: $4,000

    Useful life: 8 year

    We need to calculate the depreciation for 2018 and 2019 using straight-line method:

    Depreciation = (purchase price - residual value) / useful life

    Depreciation = (15000-4000) / 8 = $1375

    2018: 8 months

    Depreciation = (1375/12) * 8 = 916,67

    2019: full year

    Depreciation = $1375
