    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Total cost:

    = Purchase cost + shipping charge + Installation charges

    = $64,000 + $800 + $5,000

    = $69,800

    Depreciation expense:

    = (Cost - Salvage value) : Estimated Useful life

    = ($69,800 - $6,000) : 5

    = $12,760 per year

    Total depreciation expense up to 3rd year:

    = $12,760 per year * 3

    = $38,280

    Therefore,

    Book value of the equipment at the end of the third full year of use:

    = Cost of equipment - Total depreciation expense up to 3rd year

    = $69,800 - $38,280

    = $31,520
