Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $41,100,000

Salvage value= $40,000

Useful life in hours= 28,000

To calculate the depreciation expense for 2024, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated

Annual depreciation= [(41,100,000 - 40,000) / 28,000]*4,000

Annual depreciation= $5,865,714.29
