    the amount of depreciation to be charged against the machine during each of the remaining years of its useful life is $2666.67

    Explanation:

    Straight Line Depreciation Charges the same amount for depreciation on the PPE item.

    Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

    Year 1

    Depreciation Expense = ($12,000 - $2,000) / 5

    = $ 2,000

    Year 2

    Depreciation Expense = $ 2,000

    Year 3

    Depreciation Expense = $ 2,000

    Year 4

    1. Adjust The Depreciable Amount

    Depreciable Amount = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation to date - New Salvage Value

    = $12,000 - $ 2,000 - $ 2,000

    = $ 8,000

    2. Adjust the Remaining Useful Life staring Beginning of Year 4

    Remaining Useful Life before adjustments is 2

    Addition to 6 years is 1

    Total useful life Remaining is 3

    Depreciation Expense = Revised Depreciable Amount / Remaining Useful Life

    = $ 8,000 / 3

    = $2666.67
