An appraiser estimated the replacement cost new of a building at $560,000. The building has an estimated economic life of 40 years and an estimated remaining life of 30 years. What is the current value of the building

The answer is $420,000

Explanation:

To find the amount of depreciation being charged years, we use the following formula:

Cost of the asset ÷ number of useful life

Cost of the asset - $560,000

Number of useful life - 40 years

$560,000 ÷ 40 years

$14,000.

The asset has 30 years remaining, that means it has used 10 years. So the accumulated depreciation is $140,000

And the current value of the building now is $420,000($560,000 - $140,000)
