g Sheffield Corp. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2017 for $109200. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $3800 and a useful life of 131750 miles. It was driven 23000 miles in 2017 and 31000 miles in 2018. What is the depreciation expense for 2018

Answer 1

$24,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the depreciation expense for 2018 for Sheffield Corp.

Using this formula

Depreciation expense = (Purchased at the beginning-Salvage value/Useful life)* Driven miles

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation expense=($109,200-$3,800/131,750)*31,000

Depreciation expense=($105,400/131,750)*31,000

Depreciation expense=0.80*31,000

Depreciation expense=$24,800

Therefore the depreciation expense for 2018 will be $24,800
