    Number of years = 15 years

    Purchase value = 56,804,000

    Salvage value = 5,680,400

    Annual depreciation = (Purchase value - Salvage value) / Number of years

    Annual depreciation = (56,804,000 - 5,680,400) / 15

    Annual depreciation = 51,123,600/15

    Annual depreciation = 3,408,240

    Book value after first year of use = Purchase value - Annual depreciation = 56,804,000 - 3,408,240 = 53,395,760

    The book value of this purchase (excluding all other plant and equipment) after its first year of use = $ 53,395,760
