    d. $234,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the depreciation expense for one year under the straight line method is shown below:

    = (Original cost - residual value) : (useful life)

    = ($600,000 - $15,000) : (5 years)

    = ($585,000) : (5 years)

    = $117,000

    For two years, the accumulated depreciation would be

    = $117,000 * 2 years

    = $234,000

    The two year is calculated from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007
