### Depreciation Expense Calculation Problem

Peavey Enterprises purchased a depreciable asset for $32,000 on April 1, Year 1. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method over its four-year useful life. Assuming the asset's salvage value is $4,000, Peavey Enterprises should recognize depreciation expense in Year 2 in the amount of:

#### Multiple Choice:
- $26,833.33
- $28,000.00
- $7,000.00
- $8,000.00

### Detailed Explanation:

To calculate the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method, we apply the following formula:

\[ \text{Annual Depreciation Expense} = \frac{\text{Cost of Asset} - \text{Salvage Value}}{\text{Useful Life}} \]

Given:
- Cost of Asset = $32,000
- Salvage Value = $4,000
- Useful Life = 4 years

Calculation:
\[ \text{Annual Depreciation Expense} = \frac{\text{\$32,000} - \text{\$4,000}}{\text{4 years}} = \frac{\text{\$28,000}}{\text{4}} = \text{\$7,000} \]

Since the asset was purchased on April 1, Year 1, the depreciation expense for the first year should be prorated for 9 months (April to December):

\[ \text{Depreciation Expense for Year 1} = \frac{\text{\$7,000} \times \text{9}}{\text{12}} = \text{\$5,250} \]

Therefore, the depreciation for the full year in Year 2 would be $7,000. 

Correct Answer: 
- $7,000.00
