    The annual depreciation expense is $9,000, calculated as follows Cost of the asset is $80,000 less $8,000 salvage value which reduces the cost to $72,000. Useful life is 8 years. To determine annual depreciation expense using straight-line method, divide asset cost of $72,000 by 8 years of useful life equals $9,000 per year.
