Answer:

$489,000

Explanation:

Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/estimated no of useful lives

Depreciation/year = ($1,250,000-$25,000)/5

                      = $1,225,000/5 = $244,500

Depreciation for 2018 = $244,500

Accumulated depreciation would also = $244,500 as this is the first year of purchase

Depreciation for 2019 = $244,500

Accumulated depreciation = $244,500 + $244,500 = $489,000
