    b) $4,560,000

    Explanation:

    To calculate the cost estimate using cost index trending and straight line calculation, we use the following formula

    Depreciation = (A - R) : L

    And we are given the following values as;

    Original cost of asset = $4,560,00

    Residual asset = $0

    Estimated useful life = 11years

    Substituting the values into the formula we have

    = $ (4,560,000 - 0) / 11

    = $4,560,000/11

    = $456,000
