    d. Accumulated Depreciation at 12/31/21 is $25,000

    Explanation:

    Depreciable amount = $800,000 - $100,000 = $700,000

    Annual depreciation expenses = $700,000 / 35 = $20,000

    Depreciation expenses for 2020 (3 months i. e. Oct. 1 - Dec. 31) = $20,000 * (3 / 12) = $5,000.

    Accumulated depreciation at 12/31/21 = Depreciation for 2020 + 2021 annual depreciation expenses = $5,000 + $20,000 + $25,000.
