Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Assets of Blue Corporation:

                            Book Value         Fair Value   Depreciation Expense

Land                      $38,000               $49,000         $0

Building                250,000               460,000         46,000

Equipment            340,000              280,000         56,000

Total                   $628,000            $789,000      $102,000

Remaining useful life:

Building = 10 years

Equipment = 5 years

Straight-line Depreciation:

Equipment = $56,000 ($280,000/5)
