DEPRECIATION EXPENSE = ( COST - REVISED SALVAGE VALUE- DEPRECIATION EXPENSE) / REVISED REMAINING USEFUL LIFE.
BUILDING = (757100 - 36470 - 137812) / 40 = 582818 / 40 = 14570. (REVISED DEPRECIATION BUILDING)
WAREHOUSE = (148600 - 5450 - 28786) / 15 = 114364 / 15 = 7624. (REVISED DEPRECIATION WAREHOUSE)
DEPRECIATION EXPENSE 14570
ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION 14570
