The processor will be depreciated using the straight line method to zero expected salvage value. ?Studies have shown that employee-training expenses will be $ 125,000. What will be the annual depreciation expenses of the processing line for capital budgeting purposes?

1. FULL COST = shipping + cost + install + train employees + the study = 3,750,000 + 165,000 + 85,250 + 125,000 + 65,000 = $4 190 250

Divided by 10 years of life =

$419,025


$375,000
$419,025
$390,000
$400,025
