To calculate straight-line depreciation, we need to subtract the salvage value from the purchase price and divide it by the useful life.
Depreciation = (Purchase Price - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Depreciation = ($10,000 - $2,000) / 5 years
Depreciation = $8,000 / 5 years
Depreciation = $1,600 per year
Therefore, the straight-line depreciation for the surgical lights is $1,600 per year.
