    D) $14,000

    Explanation:

    Description Estimated life Cost Amortization per year

    Sales office 10 years $47,000 $4,700

    Warehouse 25 years $75,000 $7,500

    Parking lot 15 years $18,000 $1,800

    total $14,000

    Even though the useful life or the warehouse and parking lot is longer than 10 years, since the lease contract is only for 10 years, then it must be depreciated in 10 years.
