16. S During the first two years, the company drove the truck 103,000 in year 1 and 101,000 miles in year 2, to deliver merchandise to its customers. The company originally purchased the truck for $175,000. If the truck has an estimated life of 5 years or 500,000 miles, with an estimated residual value of $40,000, what amount of depreciation expense should the company record in the second year using the activity-based method?

On January 1, 20x0, a company purchased a delivery truck for $30,000. They estimated the useful life of the truck to be 6 years, and the salvage value to be $6,000. On July 1, 20x5, they sold the truck for $7,400. Assuming the company uses straight line depreciation and records depreciation expense monthly, calculate the gain or loss associated with selling the truck.

A company purchases a delivery van for $23,000. The van is estimated to have a four-year service life and a residual value of $2,100. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 110,000 miles. Required: Calculate annual depreciation for the four-year life of the van using each of the following methods. 1. Straight-line 2. Double-declining-balance 3. Activity-based (Actual miles driven each year were 20,000 miles in Year 1; 29,000 miles in Year 2; 22,000 miles in Year 3; and 27,000 miles in Year 4. Note that actual total miles of 98,000 fall short of expectations by 12,000 miles.) Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Calculate annual depreciation for the four-year life of the van using the straight-line method. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

What is the solution and/or answer to this problem? Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $52,650. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 3,780 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,620. The equipment was used for 700 hours during Year 1, 1,300 hours in Year 2, 1,100 hours in Year 3, and 680 hours in Year 4. Required: Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar. a.  Straight-line method Year Amount Year 1 $fill in the blank 1 Year 2 $fill in the blank 2 Year 3 $fill in the blank 3 Year 4 $fill in the blank 4 b.  Units-of-activity method Year Amount Year 1 $fill…
