Answer:

$2,424

Explanation:

Depreciation for a rental property is calculated following a straight line depreciation method for 27.5 years.

First we must calculate the rental's house basis excluding land value:

$135,000 - $35,000 = $100,000

Then we divide $100,000 by 27.5 years = $3,636 per year

Now we divide by 12 months = $303 per month and multiply times 8 months = $303 x 8 = $2,424
