Answer: $652,800

Explanation:

Straight Line Depreciation per year = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life

Straight Line Depreciation per year = ($1,030,000 - $87,000) / 5

Straight Line Depreciation per year = $188,600

Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017 = Depreciation per year * No. of years used

Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017 = $188,600 * 2

Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017 = $377,200

Book Value at the end of 2017 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2017

Book Value at the end of 2017 = $1,030,000 - $377,200

Book Value at the end of 2017 = $652,800
