Option A
Accumulated depreciation on dec 31 2018  99000
264000 / 8 x 3
Book value as on 2-Jan 20X9 would be ($264000-99000) 165000
In 2019
Salvage value 24000
Depreciation = (165000-24000)/ 3 47000
So, Accumulated depreciation = 99000 + 47000 146000
Book value as on 31-Dec 20X9 would be ($264000-146000) 118000
