Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one it expects to use the truck for 26,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.
Susquehanna Company purchased an asset at the beginning of the current year for 250,000. The estimated residual value is 25,000. Susquehanna estimates that the asset will be used for 10 years and uses straight-line depreciation. Calculate the depreciation expense per year.
Akron Incorporated purchased an asset at the beginning of Year 1 for 375,000. The estimated residual value is 15,000. Akron estimates that the asset has a service life of 5 years. Calculate the depreciation expense using the sum-of-the-years-digits method for Years 1 and 2 of the assets life.
IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, Dans Demolition purchased two jackhammers for 2,500 each with a salvage value of 100 each and estimated useful lives of four years.

The compressor is expected to extend the life of Jackhammer B one year beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1.
