The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The equipment cost $90,000 and had an expected salvage value of $15,000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 6 years.

Annual depreciation = (original cost - salvage value) / estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation = (90,000 - 15,000) / 6 = 12,500

Accumulated depreciation year 2 = 12,500*2 = 25,000

Book value = 90,000 - 25,000 = 65,000
