Answer:
Instructions are below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $45,000
Useful life= 10 years
Salvage value= $3,000
Activity base= 150,000 miles
The truck was driven 12,000 miles in 2019 and 20,000 miles in 2020.
We need to calculate the depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020.
Straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
General= (45,000 - 3,000)/10= $4,200
2019:
Depreciation= (4,200/12)*9= $3,150
Book value= 45,000 - 3,150= 41,850
2020:
Depreciation= $4,200
Book value= $37,650
Double-declining balance:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2019:
Depreciaiton= [(2*4,200)/12]*9= $6,300
Book value= 35,700
2020:
Depreciation= 2*[(35,700/10)]= $7,140
Book value= 35,700 - 7,140= $28,560
Activity-based:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles operated
2019:
Depreciation= [(45,000 - 3,000)/150,000]*12,000= $3,360
Book value= 45,000 - 3,360= $41,460
2020:
Depreciation= 0.28*20,000=$5,600
Book value= 41,460 - 5,600= $35,860
