Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction:

Every item that a business will be recording as declining on its books over time can have an estimated salvage value assessed. The salvage value is significant because it will serve as the asset's carrying value on a company's records after depreciation has been fully expended. It is predicated on the value a business anticipates obtaining from the asset's sale when its useful life is up. Sometimes, salvage value is just the price the business thinks it can get for parts by selling a depreciated, non-operational asset.
