    The correct answer is C

    Explanation:

    Computing the depreciation expense using the method of straight line as:

    Depreciation expense = Cost of assets - Salvage Value / Number of useful years

    where

    Cost of asset = Purchased cost + Freight charges + Installing cost

    = $150,000 + $7,000 + $20,000

    = $177,000

    Salvage value is $30,000

    Number of year useful life of asset is 5 years

    So, putting the values above as:

    Depreciation expense = $177,000 - $30,000 / 5

    Depreciation expense = $147,000 / 5

    Depreciation expense = $29,400

    Therefore, each year depreciation expense would be $29,400
