Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

Depreciation of an asset is the systematic allocation of estimated cost to an asset over time. It is added over the years to get the accumulated depreciation that is netted off the cost to get the net book value.

It is given as

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

Depreciation expense for Year 1 (the first year of the asset's life) under the straight-line method would be

= ( $60,000 - $10,000 ) / 5

= $50,000/5

= $10,000
