Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A lumber company purchases and installs a wood chipper for $280,000. The chipper’s useful life is 15 years. The estimated salvage value at the end of 15 years is $40,000.

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (280,000 - 40,000)/15= $16,000
