Answer:

Depreciation expense= $3,340

Explanation:

According to International Accounting standards (IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.

Cost = 17,000 + 700 + 2,000= 16700

Depreciation expense per year = Cost - salvage value /Number of year                                

Depreciation = (16,700 - 3000)/5 =3340

Depreciation expense= $3,340
