Answer:

$94,354.29

Explanation:

Depreciation rate = 100/10*2 = 20%

2019 Depreciation = 1290000 * 20% = $258000

2020 Depreciation = 1290000 * 80% * 20% = $206400

2021 Depreciation = 1290000 * 80% * 80% * 20% = $165120

Accumulated depreciation (2019 to 2021) = $258000 + $206400 + $165120 = $629,520

Depreciation expense for 2022 = (1290000 - 629,520) / 7

Depreciation expense for 2022 = 660480 / 7

Depreciation expense for 2022 = $94,354.29
