4.A depreciable asset currently has a $40,100 book value. The company owning the asset uses straight-line depreciation. They paid $70,000 for this asset and consider it to have a $1,000 salvage value with a twelve year useful life. How long has the company owned this asset?
a.Cannot be determined from the given information
d.5.2 years

Cost $70,000
less salvage value $1,000
Depreciable base $69,000

Annual depreciation $5,750 ($69,000/12 years)

Net book value is $40,100, so accumulated depreciation is $29,900 ($70,000 - $40,100)
$29,900/$5,750 = 5.2 years
