1. what amount of depreciation should have been charged annually from the years 2001 to 2020? (assume straight-line depreciation.)

$56,650

Explanation:

Depreciation: The depreciation is an expense that shows a reduction in the value of the fixed assets due to tear and wear, obsolesce, usage, time period, etc. It is shown on the debit side of the income statement. It is a non-cash item that does not affect the cash balance.

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

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

= ($2,266,000 - $0) ÷ (40 years)

= ($2,266,000) ÷ (40 years)  

= $56,650

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.
