Explanation / Answer

some informations are missing so only show you the warehouse.
Old yearly depreciation:
(100,000 - 5,000) / 25 = 3.800 per year
Proposed Depreciation:
The book value of the warehouse is 100,000 - 19,000 = $81,000
With the proposal, the new salvage value will be $3,600 and the proposed useful life will have 15 years remaining.
(81,000 - 3,600) / 15 = $5,160 new yearly depreciation
