    Depreciation expense each year using the straight-line method will be:

    b. $11,760

    Explanation:

    Total cost of equipment = Purchasing price + Freight charges + Building a foundation and Installing fee = $60,000 + $2,800 + $8,000 = $70,800

    The company uses straight-line method, the annual Depreciation expense will be calculated by using formula:

    Annual Depreciation expense = (Total Cost of asset - Salvage Value) / Useful life

    Depreciation expense each year = ($70,800 - $12,000) / 5 = $58,800/5 = $11,760
