Answer 1

Hello one of my favvvvv sons!
This is Accounting math, so congrats at being in college level math!
 Now let's solve this!  :)

The Book Value of an asset is the asset's cost minus the assets accumulated depreciation.
 Asset's costs:
           Purchase of equipment =  $18,000
           Shipping costs =  $620.00
           Installation costs =  $590.00
                                    
              Total = $19,210.00

Assets accumulated depreciation:

  depreciation per year=(Cost of equipment-Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life = (18000 - 2000) ÷ 10 = $ 1,600 per anum (per year)

           Cost: $18,000
           Salvage Value: $ 2,000
           Estimated Useful Life:  10 years

 With this data, we can make the following chart provided below.
Looking at the chart we can conclude that hence, in the 10th year, the accumulated depreciation value is $ 16,000.

So the Book Value at the end of year 10 is...
an asset is the assets cost - the assets accumulated depreciation.
$19,210.00 - $16,000 = $ 3,210
