    The amount of accumulated depreciation at the end of the second year is $156,000.

    Explanation:

    Determining the depreciation base = 400,000 - 10,000

    The depreciation base = 390,000.

    Determining the depreciation rate = depreciation base/useful life

    The depreciation rate = 390,000/5

    The depreciation rate = 78,000.

    Depreciation for the two years = Depreciation rate * No. of years (which is 2)

    Depreciation for the two years = 78,000 * 2

    Depreciation for the two years = $156,000.
