The machine's book value at the end of Year 4 given the acquistion cost and the useful life is $15,000,000.

What is the machine's book value?

The book value of an asset is the cost of an asset less the accumulated depreciation.  Straight line deprecation distributes the depreciation expense evenly over the useful of the asset.

Straight line deprecation expense = (cost of the asset - salvage value) / useful life

$35,000,000 / 7 = $5,000,000

Book value = $35,000,000 - ($5,000,000 x 4) = $15,000,000
