After 4 years of straight-line depreciation, the asset's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage value. The depreciation expense in year 5 equals:
- A$5,375.00.

After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,200 but its total useful life remained the same. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the equipment during each of the remaining years of its useful life:
- A$1,000.
- B$1,800.
- C$5,400.
- D$2,400.
