Answer: Depreciation for 3 months  = $1140.

Explanation:

In straight line method, Depreciation for full year  = (Cost – Salvage value) ÷ useful life

Depreciation for full year = ($26,000 -$3,200 ) ÷ 5

= $(22800÷ 5)

= $ 4,560

Furniture was purchased on September 30, so depreciation will be calculated from October to December(3 months)

Depreciation for 3 months  = Yearly depreciation x ([tex]\dfrac3{12}[/tex])

= $4,560 x (0.25)

= $1140.

Hence, Depreciation for 3 months  = $1140.
