Example 1: A property has just been purchased for $150,000. The purchase
price is allocated between $25,000 for land and $125,000 for improvements
(building). The remaining useful life of the building is agreed to be 25 years.
There is no salvage value forecasted at the end of the useful life of the building.
Thus, the depreciable value and book value is $125,000.
The building was acquired 4 months before the end of the year. Using
straight-line depreciation, find the amount of depreciation and remaining
depreciable value for the 1st, 2nd, 25th, and 26th years. What is the total
depreciation after 3 years?
