Answer:
$14,250
Explanation:
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful Life
Annual depreciation = ($60,000 - $3,000) / 8
Annual depreciation = $57,000 / 8
Annual depreciation = $7,125
Accumulated dep. at December 31, 2022 = $7,125 * 2
Accumulated dep. at December 31, 2022 = $14,250
So, the balance in accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method at December 31, 2022 is $14,250.
