    Option C is correct

    Explanation:

    Using straight line depreciation method we can calculate the annual depreciation of the machinery, which can be calculated from the following formula:

    Straight Line Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful value

    Straight Line Depreciation = ($95000 - $5000) / 5 years life = $18,000

    The double entry would be:

    Dr Depreciation Expense $18,000

    Cr Accumulated Depreciation $18,000
