C. $8,000

Explanation:

A car now worth $23,000 is expected to drop in value to $15,000 in two years, to calculate the actual depreciation charge, the expected drop in value is deducted from the current value of the car. This is shown below

Current worth ($23,000) - Expected drop in value ($15,000)

= $8,000.

The actual depreciation charge for the car is $8,000.
