III. (Analysis of Subsequent Expenditures) The following transactions occurred during 2017. Assume that depreciation of 10% per year is charged on all machinery and 3% per year on buildings, on a straight-line basis, with no esti¬mated salvage value. Depreciation is charged for a full year on all fixed assets acquired during the year, and no depreciation is charged on fixed assets disposed of during the year.
