Leslie, inc., followed the practice of depreciating its building on a straight-line basis. a building was purchased in 2016 and had an estimated useful life of 25 years and a residual value of $20,000. page 428 the company's depreciation expense for 2016 was $15,000 on the building. what was the original cost of the building?

Original Cost of building=$395000

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Straight line depreciation Expense=Depreciable amount/Useful life of asset

In our Case:

Depreciable amount is not given

Depreciable expense=$15000

Useful life of asset =25 years

Using aboe formula depreciable amount can be calculated as:

Depreciable amount= Depreciation Expense* Useful life of asset

Depreciable amount=$15000*25

Depreciable amount=$375000

In order to calculate the original cost we also have to include residual cost in depreciable amount.

Original Cost of building=Depreciable amount + Residual Cost

Original Cost of building=$375000+$20000

Original Cost of building=$395000

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
