 ​(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)

To calculate the yearly depreciation expenses using the straight-line depreciation method, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Annual Depreciation} = \frac{\text{Cost of Machine} + \text{Transportation and Installation Costs}}{\text{Depreciable Life}}
\]

### Given:
- Cost of machine = $10,400,000
- Transportation and installation costs = $46,000
- Depreciable life = 5 years
- Salvage value = $0 (since there's no salvage value)

### Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the machine
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 10,400,000 + 46,000 = 10,446,000
\]

### Step 2: Apply the straight-line depreciation formula
\[
\text{Annual Depreciation} = \frac{10,446,000}{5} = 2,089,200
\]

Thus, the yearly depreciation expenses are **$2,089,200**.

1. What would be the depreciation if the machine had a salvage value?
2. How would double-declining balance depreciation differ from straight-line in this case?
3. How do you account for depreciation expenses in financial statements?
4. What happens if the machine's useful life changes after a few years?
5. How does inflation affect the calculation of depreciation?

**Tip:** When calculating straight-line depreciation, remember that the salvage value is subtracted from the cost before dividing by the useful life.
