Answer:

The answer is E. $24,000

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation method equals

Cost of asset - salvage value / number of years.

Cost of asset is $135,000

Salvage value is $15,000

Number of years is 5 years

$135,000 - $15,000/5 years

$120,000/5 years

=$24,000

Straight line method of depreciation has equal amount all through the year.

The first year through it end life.

Therefore, machines' first year depreciation under the straight-line method is $24,000
