    a. $56.00

    Depreciation charges = $7/50 * 400 = $56.00

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Depreciation rate R = (initial value - scrap value) / useful life

    Depreciation rate R = (70-0) / 500 = $7/50 per hour

    For the first 400 hours, the depreciation charges is;

    Depreciation charges = depreciation rate * time

    Depreciation charges = $7/50 * 400 = $56.00

    Depreciation charges = $56.00
