C) $74,857.20

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense in year 3 is shown below:

= Required equipment amount * MACRS depreciation allowances in year 3

= $428,000 * 17.49%

= $74,857.20

Simply we multiply the equipment amount with its depreciation allowance of year 3 so that the correct amount can be computed.
