Expert Answer
Original purchase cost = $40900000
Estimated useful life = 15 years
Salvage value at the end of 15 years = $4090000
Annual depriciation using the streight line method = (original purchase cost – salvage value) / estimated useful life
=(40900000 – 4090000) / 15
= 36810000 / 15
= $2454000
Cumulative depriciation after the third year = $2454000 X 3 = $7362000
Book value after third year of use = Original purchase cost – Cumulative depticiation
= $40900000 – $7362000
= $33538000
