    A. $53,167

    Explanation:

    The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

    = (Original cost - residual value) : (useful life)

    = ($328,000 - $9,000) : (6 years)

    = ($319,000) : (6 years)

    = $53,167

    In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life.

    The estimated useful life in units is used in units of production method. Hence, it is ignored here.
