Answer:

Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3= $3,800

Explanation:

Depreciable amount = Cost -  Salvage Value

Depreciable amount  = 20,000-2,000

Depreciable amount = $18,000

Sum of years’ digits = 1+2+3+4 = 10

Depreciation for Year 1 = 18,000*4/10 = 7,200

Depreciation for Year 2 = 18,000*3/10 = $5,400

Depreciation for Year 3 = 18,000*2/10 = $3,600

Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3 = Purchase cost - Depreciation

Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3 = $20,000 - $7,200 - $5,400 - $3,600

Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3= $3,800
