Based on this information, the amount of depreciation expense to be recognized at the end of 2018 is:
$11,550. ($55,000 cost - $11,000 orig. salvage value)/5 years = $8,800 original annual depreciation expense; $55,000 cost - ($8,800 × 3 years) = $28,600 book value at the time of the revision; ($28,600 book value - $5,500 revised salvage value)/2 remaining years = $11,550 new annual depreciation expense.
