    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    A company has decided to purchase new office furniture with a useful life of 12 years for $100,000. Sales tax for the furniture was $6,000, and inbound transportation costs were $4,000. The new furniture will be kept for 10 years before being sold. Its estimated salvage value at the time is expected to be $5,000.

    Straight-line depreciation = (purchase value - salvage value) / useful life = (110,000 - 5000) / 12 = 8750

    Book value = depreciable value - accumulated depreciation

    Book value = 105000 - (8750*5) = $61250
