    a. $9,000

    b. $3,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:

    a.

    = (Purchase value of machinery - estimated salvage value) : (useful life)

    = ($80,000 - $8,000) : (8 years)

    = ($72,000) : (8 years)

    = $9,000

    b. The asset is purchased on September 1,2010, so the depreciation expense should be charged for four months i. e From September to December.

    We assume the books are closed on December 31, 2010

    So, the depreciation would be

    = $9,000 * 4 months : 12 months

    = $3,000
