Answer:

$17,500

Explanation:

Depreciation is defined as a systematic allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful lifetime using accepted methods like reducing balance , straight line and others.

Depreciable amount is the component cost of an asset that is consumed while the scrap or salvage value is the component of the cost that is left at the completion of the useful lifetime.
