Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The book value at the end of year 4 is the salvage value, as the machine has been fully depreciated over its useful life. The calculation for annual depreciation is (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($60,000 - $5,000) / 4 = $13,750 per year. After 4 years, the total depreciation is $13,750 * 4 = $55,000, leaving a book value of $5,000, which is the salvage value.
