    c) $2,250

    Explanation:

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

    As we know that

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

    = ($100,000 - $10,000) : (10 years)

    = ($90,000) : (10 years)

    = $9,000

    This $9,000 is for one year depreciation but we have to find out for 3 months i. e from October 1 to December 31

    = $9,000 * 3 months : 12 months

    = $2,250
