In recent years, Juresic Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is summarized below.

For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of activity method, total miles are expected to be 120,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were: 2009, 24,000; 2010, 34,000; and 2011, 30,000.Instructions(a) Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus at December 31, 2010.(b) If bus no. 2 was purchased on April 1 instead of January 1, what is the depreciation expense for this bus in (1) 2008 and (2)2009?
