Question

Norman Delivery Company purchased a new delivery truck for $36,000 on April 1, 2019. The truck is expected to have a service life of 5 years or 120,000 miles and a residual value of $3,000. The truck was driven 10,000 miles in 2019 and 20,000 miles in 2020. Norman computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole month.

Answer 1

2019 = 2750

2020 = 5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of truck = $36000

Salvage value = $3000

Useful life = 120, 000 miles

(Cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life

(36000 - 3000) / 120,000 = 0.275

2019 : 0.275 x 10,000 = 2750

2020 : 0.275 * 20000 = 5500
