Answer is2.

The book value of an asset is the asset’s cost minus the asset’s accumulated depreciation. For example, in the general ledger account, Automobile, is the automobile’s cost of $22,000. In the contra asset account, Accumulated Depreciation on Automobile, is a credit balance of $16,000. The net of those two amounts ($22,000 minus $16,000) is the book value or the carrying value of the automobile. In this example the $6,000 is the amount being reported on the company’s books.
