    The book value of the machine at the end of year 2 is $35,000

    Explanation:

    Straight line method depreciates the asset on its useful life after deducting salvage value from the cost of the asset.

    Depreciation per year = (Cost of Machine - Residual Value) / Useful life

    Depreciation per year = ($42,000 - $7,000) / 10 years

    Depreciation per year = $3,500 per year

    Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $42,000 - ($3,500 x 2)

    Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $42,000 - $7,000

    Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $35,000
