    Book value on 31 december 2017 = $44900

    Explanation:

    The staright line depreciation calculates depreciation charge as a constant charge throughout the useful life of the asset.

    The formula for staright line depreciation expense is,

    Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Residual value) / estimated useful life

    Thus, the depreciation expense per year on delivery vehicle will be,

    Depreciation expense = (58300 - 4700) / 8 = > $6700 per year

    The book value of vehicle on 31 december 2017 will be,

    Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

    Book value = 58300 - (6700*2) = > $44900
