= $115,559.84

Explanation:

The MACRS represents Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System and it represents a depreciation method that is accepted for taxation purpose in the United States. The MACRS allows an asset's capitalized cost's recovery over a period of time based on annual deductions.

From the question, the fixed asset was purchased for $139,700

the MACRS rate to use at the end of 4 years = 0.2, 0.32, 0.192 and 0.1152

The accumulated depreciation therefore,

= (0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152) x $139,700

= $115,559.84
